Do not let laundry pile up

Piled up laundry can be a very depressing thing. I've known several people who-for some strange reason-let their laundry accumulate until the weekend. Since the washer and dryer do the vast majority of the work, why would you put it off? Really think about how long it takes to wash, dry, fold, and put away a single load. Time yourself.

If you have young children and need to pre-treat clothes then you'll of course take the longest.

Learn to pair this non-thinking task with tasks that require more mental energy

For many years now my secret to staying on top of this task has been to combine this non-thinking task with the more mentally challenging task of cooking. Remember, though, I'm talking about a single load.

Do this 3 or 4 times a week (probably daily if you have small children) and you'll get laundry under control the first week.

Starting at about the age of 4, kids can help fold and put up their own clothes. I hope these 3 easy tips for getting your laundry under control will be helpful in your home time management efforts.
