This laundry sits here until I run out of clothes in my drawers, but then I tend to dig through the laundry basket to find things to wear. That leads me to beating myself up about it and feeling the “why can’t I just do what I need to do”.

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 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.
