Maybe (probably) I'm just stupid and clumsy but cleaning as I go means cooking takes even more time and effort. I do it exactly the other way around, to minimize cleaning time I only clean my kitchen every few days when my counter gets too full. YMMV.

I want true cleaning hacks. I just got a dishwasher last week for the first time in my life and it's a huge time saver. What else is like that? The most common sense of course is putting things away after you use them, and another hack is cleaning the kitchen before bed, but what else? Does wiping down the shower every time I use it help? Should I get a used roomba? Are there any roomba-type-objects that mop? Give me the knowledge please.
Robot vacuumes!
Buy a cheapish roborock, even used. The S5 is great
There are mopping robots, I have a Braava by irobot
Be warned: that specific model (M6) cannot clean the inside of corners! I'm sure there are newer (and nicer ones) that can do that, since irobot has been super behind the curve for a long time
On the other hand there are now combo vacuum/mop robots but idk if those mop corners very well since I don't have one

For me it's just cleaning something somewhat every day that makes the "bigger" cleaning sessions so much easier. Not sure if that's what you mean but bouts of depression made me ignore things for longer times and it took so much more energy to get it back into shape afterwards.
Like, I'd vacuum the living room while waiting for the water for coffee to boil. As for the shower, once weekly is fine to not have to scrub, but I also don't have hard water.
if you ever get a robot vacuum, don't skimp and try finding a quality one.
i tried a cheap one and its useless.

F u man... It's 2AM and I just finished cleaning my kitchen. Ech, I forgot the sink, brb.
I'm living alone again for the first time since I was 22. I brought back my old ways. I use the same dishes every day, and wash as I go. One fork, one knife, one spoon, a plate, a bowl, a glass, etc. They sit rinsed-off in the sink till I need them, then I quickly wash what I need, and use it, and put it back in the sink.
Much better than filling a dishwasher every few days, then having to run it and put the dishes away.
misread kitchen as chicken and got really confused
well the chicken must be cleaned too
...and folding clothes! That's how you know you're alive 😅
With kids it's so much worse. I clean the entire kitchen at least 3 times a day, usually more.
Laundry with three kids... Worst thing ever...
Folding is the worst.
At least with my laundry when I take an article of clothing out of the basket to fold you can tell the volume in the basket is reducing. Each item is large enough that the difference is notable.
But when I take a piece of kids' clothing out, it's not noticeably less in the basket. It just feels like an endless amount of clothes.

The kitchen exists as a place where you can make a mess and quickly clean it up.
Imagine trying to do all the stuff you do in your kitchen, but in your living room or bedroom?
That was my thought. If you take your take out to the couch directly you don’t need to clean the kitchen. #life hack

Just the clean the kitchen each time after you cook.
