In my opinion, tidying up and cleaning are matters of habit and personality

People tend to think you have to be incredibly diligent to do this,
but if you set aside one day to get it done, you just have to maintain it from then on. It's just like dieting.
To be honest, after I cook, the only things I have to wash are the pot and dishes I used.
While waiting for the water to boil or preparing other things, I finish all the cleanup. I can't stand seeing a mess.
I think it's just a personality trait...
