I need a hack or help or something that has worked for remembering to move laundry from the washer to the dryer. I wash a load, forget to move it, finally remember, rewash, maybe remember to dry it. By the time I get through the cycle, it is almost time to go to bed, so then I wake up feeling behind because I have yesterday’s laundry to fold. Does anyone have a good way to remember to move laundry from the washer to the dryer?

I just start running until im tired 😴
May be just putting the empty laundry basket right in the middle of the floor of the hallway or something? Then when you walk past it, you probably remember :)
Maybe try setting an alarm on your phone to go off a little after the cycle should end and name the alarm, Go Switch Laundry! If you happen to be busy or cannot tend to the laundry at the time of the alarm, set another one for 20-30 minutes later to give yourself another reminder. If im in the middle of something and turn off the alarm with the thought, "I'll take care of that in just a minute," I forget as soon as I lay my phone back down to complete the first task. Hopefully this helps for you like it does me!
