I do biggest to smallest for plates because I can lean them vertically against the back wall better. For washing smaller things, I put a bigger dish below them to catch the water (I don’t fill the sink) and then poor that water into dirtier pots to presoak them.
Laundry: I have 5 vertical baskets lined with big pillow cases. One each for lower temp dark clothes, lower temp light clothes, high temp dark, high temp light, wool. I have enough clothes so that I can do laundry based on when I feel up to it rather that when I need it. Usually 3-4 loads per month. When the basket is full, I know it’s a full load. Then I grap the full pillow case (no sorting!) and wash. I set phone timers for when the load is finished.

That's such a clever system, thank you so much for sharing!
