Doing many small tasks is easier than doing a large one. Kinda like the inverse of "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts"
Yes, for some things. Some tasks are better done summarized. Cleaning generally isn't, because it easily conflicts with other tasks when not done.
I'm a rather busy family man, so if I have 20 minutes to cook a meal for the family before I have to drive someone somewhere it can really mess up the entire day schedule if the sink is full of dishes and the trash bin is topped up with unsorted garbage. So I try to be on top of it for my own sake. "Keep the tools sharp" goes for everything, even a diaper supply.
