I think what most of these replies are missing is that for ADHDers, it’s possible to do something either every day, or totally sporadically and often too late… The “just pick a day every week” solution is a) obvious, and b) impossible.
I know this isn’t within the means of everyone, but have your clothes laundered. Finally convinced my wife to let us do this and it’s fantastic! About $45 a week for the two of us. We’re mostly empty nesters.
We really do live in entirely separate worlds. Not disrespecting you in the slightest, but the idea of spending the better part of an entire day worth of wages just to pay someone else to do an hour of work is alien to me
Yeah not for everyone for sure. Based on wage per hour which isn’t really real, it costs us more to do the laundry than to pay to get it done. Same reason we have someone clean our house every few weeks and care for our lawn.
I don’t do laundry every day, but I have a basket that’s about the same size as one load. Whenever the basket is full, it goes into the washer. Tends to be once every about 5 days for me.
You have enough clothes to wear a whole month without doing laundry? Gee. My entire wardrobe is maybe 4 loads, counting all seasons, and I think I have too many clothes.
Because it’s an annoying job and no one wants to do one more load than they think they have to, so they fill it to the top. If you think four loads is a month’s worth of laundry you’re either overloading your washer or re-wearing a lot of dirty clothes.
I do one machine each Sunday. No idea what you fill your daily machines with, unless you have literally one (1) pair of everything and must clean it daily.
There are five people in my house. Each generates one full load of laundry every week or so. That’s two sets of PJs, four pairs of pants, seven tops, seven pairs each of underwear and socks, and a bath towel.
Add in bed linens, kitchen towels, and throw rugs, and 6-7 loads a week is not excessive. I don’t do laundry every day; I prefer to do a few loads at a time twice a week. But with a high-efficiency washer it’s not even that much water, and they are all full loads so it’s not “wasted” anyway.
Jeans are actually only supposed to be washed that often. They did say pants though, which could be very different. Especially if they’re wearing jeggings riding up their ass so hard that it’s doing half their wiping.
