I do too, with the help of scrubber with detergent (https://www.amazon.com/Cleaning-Scrubber-Dispenser-Dishwash-...) it's a 10 second job. Being single means my plate and bowl can simply sit in the rack until next use. It's not a significant time sink, I spend way more than that cooking meals in the first place.

Similarly, washing clothes is not a significant time sink, 99% of the process is done by a machine unattended, I only need to collect the clothes, transfer them from the washer to the drier and put them away afterwards. Or put them on a hanger to dry if they require ironing.

> Being single

That's about 25% of the US population. Those of us raising families do quite a lot of labour every day, at least while the kids are small.

A quick mental estimate says daily dishes for family of 4, 2 of whom are preschoolers, is about 12X my singleton workload. Also laundry every day at least one load, maybe two.

Wash-dry-fold services are some of the best dollars I spend. For about $1/pound, I drop my stuff off before work, pick it up at the end of the day, and it's all taken care of.

The scrubber wand changed my life. Dishes went from being a complete pain to being tolerable and quick. It seems like such a simple thing, but it really does change the game.
