(laugh!) I'm with you. I move from work area to work
area if one becomes too cluttered. Once the dish is in the
oven, or there is some lull in the process, I'll throw stuff in the
dishwasher or the sink just to clear the area.

Real clean up might not happen until well after the meal.

Definitely. I will stop and wash chicken knives/cutting boards
just to make sure there is no mix-up, using the wrong knife to
cut lettuce or something.
