When I wash the dishes, I tend to start with cutlery. However, this habit doesn't serve me well when I have only ten minutes for dishes and I know I won't be finishing. After all the cutlery, there seems to be just as much washing up left as before. So recently I started cleaning the big items first: saucepans, strainers, a big vase, the pizza tray and so on. I found that it gave a much bigger visual and mental pay-off than starting small, and took exactly the same amount of effort. That's a good lesson in general: grab the low-hanging fruit first.
