I guess “hire someone” is always an option, but it’s a difficult task sometimes, especially finding someone reliable. It’s not even that the larger thing is outside my ability, it’s just “ugh, I don’t have time for this”.

Make a stack of dishes next to the sink. Put two items or a handful into the sink. Only wash the items in the sink.
A sink blocked by a stack of dishes is not a usable sink.
