I also struggle immensely with dishes. To the point I’ve started paying one of my roommates to do mine every few days 😬

my latest thing that makes it barely tolerable has been putting an anime to play on my phone during. though this limits me to dubs since my Japanese isn’t anywhere near good enough to understand without being able to keep my eyes on the subtitles

also I can highly recommend the BBC radio comedy “Cabin Pressure,” about a bunch of misfit pilots and airline staff of a charter airplane. Absolutely hysterical and perfect for dishes-type tasks
