You look at the dishes, comprehend how you would do them if you did, build a plan, then put it in the back of your mind and go about your day.

Structure like a skeleton. Gives you the rough shape, but you have some freedom to arrange the squishy bits hanging off it.

For me, this might mean studying with the knowledge that when I get antsy and need to task switch, I can do the dishes instead. It feels like a weird form of circuit training

Or you start out with folding clothes, then start putting them away, get distracted by the dishes or cleaning up the bathroom, and start on that other chore. The key is to eventually get back to the original (easier said than done), but even if you didn't really get it done quickly, you often put yourself in the mindset of cleaning, which helps on its own.
