Dirty dishes can only pile up to a certain point before they reach critical mass and set off a minor nuclear fusion reaction, which not only removes the dishes from existence, but also sanitizes your kitchen. So don't worry if you see the pile getting higher. It will eventually take care of itself.

Dirty laundry should be washed, but under no circumstances should it be folded and put away. Long before it reaches critical mass, people will start looking for their clothes in the clean laundry pile instead of in their drawers. That means that the more you put off the laundry, the smaller the pile gets.

Hope this helps,
