Single sink. Too bad.
You have to have something extra for either soaking or draining dishes. While your dishwasher is in the process of loading or running, you can't just leave shit stacking up and blocking the sink.

Get your proper tools if you aren't going to actually remodel.

Buy a separate wash basin. Store it under your sink. In and out of service, when needed. Fill up basin with hot soapy water. Empty out your sink, and soak a load of plates in this wash basin. Use your sink only for rinsing off soap. Place dishes in drainer or hand dry. Make sure you give it only 5 minutes. Replenish the hot soapy water when needed.

No dollar store soap, but actual concentrated Dawn. Have heavy duty and light duty sponges. Long handled brush. Dobie or some nonstick scrubby that doesn't hold cheese/bits, for some jobs. Brillo for other jobs. Bleach disinfectant spray to finish up your sink and countertops. Another use of the basin is for sanitizing with dilute bleach solution before air drying. If you are not regularly serving 12 dinner plates each night, that's too many dishes sitting around.
