Laundry basket of doom

I taught my boys from very young age to do laundry. They are now 20 and 23. All I have to worry about is mine. I developed a habit now through Numo routines that once a week I do my laundry. It has helped me so much to stick to the routine.

I feel this 100% i have my entire household baskets in my room at one point- but it was today actually, i was able to get some of it done. You got this. Just throw em in, set a timer, and change em. One thing at a time. I start w my most important clothes.. this way at least what i need is available to me first. I pace myself on the rest- Dont let it defeat you! I know its haunting, but baby steps to it- thats all

You don’t want to do the laundry because it’s not a creative task. Our reward system requires that immense dopamine needs to be guaranteed for us to act. This is how I do my laundry. I have my laundry basket visible outside of my bedroom and right next to the washer. I go to the gym to exercise (zone 2 run and swimming) in the morning and I get back home. Because of the exercise, my focus and attention is enhanced and able to perform less motivating tasks such as for the laundry. Only after I exercise doing the laundry, takes less than five minutes because I can clearly see the next steps as I move the clothes out of the basket into the washer , put the detergent , close the door on the machine, and even clean up. Use the dopamine you get from your exercise to do the things you don’t want to do but need to do 

I put my clothes on top of clothes all unfolded then fold all like a sandwich to then put that sandwich in my drawer

I do not fold my underwear, it goes into the drawer as a pile since I'm going to sift through anyway on any given day. I also do not bother turning my shirts rightside out before folding them. And I hang a lot of things.

I do the exact same thing with my laundry lol

I have 3 laundry bags, and 3 baskets. Nothing to wear, obviously, and can never find matching socks 🤪😭 I’m ok though. I can both laugh and cry about it! 🤣

The laundry bag of doom. This could run and run.

I love this! My kids have to get their clothes from kitchen because although I do the laundry, I can never be bothered to take it to their rooms.

I hang everything except panties and socks. I also make the 2 older kids do their own laundry and I got them both their own (color coded) towels.

I completly feel you, its worse when we have kids, but is so overwhelming
