Those Nightly Dishes- A Solution

I've discovered that my biggest difficulty in this challenge is getting the sink cleaned before bed every night. Tidying up is fine and manageable, but too many times I am leaving the dishes in the sink and because of that, not "meeting the requirements" because I don't want to get my hands all cold and wet right before sleeping. Which almost makes me feel like there's no point tidying up, because I anyhow won't meet the specifications I set out for myself.
The reason I wanted clean sinks before bed is because I know I tend to let dishes build up and I don't want it to get as bad as it used to be.
But I don't want to set myself unreasonable goals, and I'm noticing that washing the dishes before bed every night is an unreasonable goal.
So, I decided that as long as the sink is clean of dishes by 9 am (by which point it is both supper and breakfast dishes), I will have gotten full points for the previous day (provided the place was tidied before bed).

Flexibility, and keeping the house in a state of relative tidiness at all times is the goal here, not rigidity and sticking to rules.

My sinks are cleaned now, and I decided I get full points for last night.
