Jokes on you, I just did a load of laundry this morning.

After forgetting it in the washer last night and having to re-run it.

And I actually brought it down to the laundry room the day before that.

And I put it all in a hamper the day before that.

Okay what I’m saying is, I have a system and it apparently works eventually so nyah.

I mean this is just categorically false, I'm extremely diligent about doing my laundry.

It then goes onto the "folding pile," which the locals have started to refer to as "Mount Laundry"

To avoid this, I now hang almost everything on hangers. It’s not a perfect system, but I’m WAY better about doing it than folding, because folding sucks.

Same, everything but socks and underwear goes on a hanger.

Bought a too-small-sized cloth bin, do when it overflows, I know there is laundry overdue.

Now about the pile of clothes on the floor next to the bin, I can explain...

This worked for me as well!

The only things that lay flat are sports shorts folded in half and the few sweaters I own. Shirts, other shorts, and pants are all on appropriate hangers. When I get something out I don't mess up the piles!

Two weeks? That's not putting it off. That's just barely enough for a full load.

I did the towels on Saturday, sheets on Sunday, and my clothes last Tuesday!

They are still in the basket. Clean. But in the basket.

I did that for a long time, but hangers and hanging things became such a hassle and started not being efficient/ friendly enough.

I basically don't fold anything now. My jeans get thrown over the hanger bar, my shirts get laid out semi flat so there's no intense wrinkling, and everything else pretty much has its own drawer. The only things I hang now are hoodies, and I have a system like a front entryway coat hanger, so they just get put on the hooks and it's done.

I have a fair excuse right now, the washing machine broke and i have to wash some laundry manually.

Though i generally let the autisms side need for routine to so the clothes washing.

Hang the fancy stuff, everything else gets stuffed into a drawer

What's great about a folding pile that eventually it just becomes your wardrobe. For every piece of clothing I grab from the clothing pile to wear I get to skip folding one piece of clothing.

Weeks. Yes.

By having a good reuse strategy and wearing mostly Tshirts and shorts it's pretty doable to have 1 load per 2 weeks.
