This, without the last part.
I regularly use all the available dishes, cookware, cutlery, cups, etc until it's ALL used then wash it all at once.
Just a few rules, always rinse right after eating/cooking. Stack _rinsed_ things by type. Never leave anything in the sink so that it's always usable (there's 1 or 2 sinks but plenty of countertop space, it's mindblowing how people argue that the sink should be filled first but I digress).
The actual washing part: I don't have that much stuff so it takes around one hour maybe. Almost always I do it before cooking. I don't mind washing dishes and pots (rinsed already, remember?) but cutlery is the worst part. I actively looked at countertop dishwashers to use exclusively for forks, spoons, knives and maybe cups but I'm not sold yet.
Edit: Maybe I'll add a couple details. I have plastic trays where the dirty stuff lives so that it can be moved around in "modules". Having a flat induction stove helps, stuff gets on there too.
Washing is done in stages by object type somewhat in this order (for each category -> first wash all, then rinse all, obviously):
- glasses (first the nice one if any, then the everyday stuff)
- cups
- stack of rinsed dishes
- food containers and bowls
- cutlery
- cookware
- pot lids
- the plastic trays (wet pots and pans will go on there to dry)
- pots
- pans
