Laundry has always been one of my favorite chores (I know, chores having a favorite is a contradiction). But I am horrible at getting the clothes folded and put up. Until recently, I would wash and dry the clothes and pile them on my couch unfolded. I would leave them there and pick out what I wanted to wear based on what I could see. And this would continue until I couldn't stand to look at the clothes anymore, or until there wasn't any room on the couch to sit.
Being that I work and go to school full-time, laundry took me forever to just get through 3 loads. So here's how I've made it work in my busy schedule the last month.
I gathered all the clothes laying around the house and separated them into their respective bins. I started with the laundry bin that had the most in it. (On a side note, I never knew until recently that you were suppose to put the detergent and softner ball in before the clothes!) After washing the first load and getting them in the dryer, I repeated this step and worked on something else in the meantime. After the first load dried, I did my usual and piled it on the couch. After getting about 5 loads of clothes washed and dried, I would turn on a TV show that I liked and start folding (of course I did this on a day that I had off, or was working from home). After getting the clothes folded, I put them where they actually belonged: in the closet!
Now I have a nice and clean couch that I can sit on to eat and watch TV shows! Hope this helps the busy-bees out in the world!
