Efficiently process laundry - avoid stress
How do I avoid stress in the "processing" of the laundry? I have often heard from women lately "I have no time for, I still do so much laundry" and I was just wondering why I seldom have stress myself.
For example, I would never let the sauna visit after the activity in the gym, because I still have so much laundry at home. When thinking about my temporal commitment to the subject, I noticed some things that I do differently than these women.
I try not to touch the laundry more often than absolutely necessary, So I sort the laundry on Friday in different baskets: black, bright, colorful and 60 degrees, when many colorful things are there, I subdivide again in blue-green and red-brown.
If the weather is summery and there is the possibility to hang the laundry outside on the clothes dryer, I throw the first machine in the evening and program it so that it is directly ready in the morning and I can hang this charge right away, then another machine can be started. In the optimal case, I get the complete laundry then one day wash, almost incidentally, since I am in between the household / garden / purchasing / cooking / baking ... ect. Kill.
I take the dry linen off the leash and put it directly together, sort them right after people in the baskets (then there are currently three baskets next to the clothes dryer) or to floor. The finished things are placed on the stairs or on the bed and are then also deleted from my personal list of Todo;)
I almost do not iron! When I think about how much time I have wasted ironing ... I do not even see it anymore. There are men's shirts that need to be ironed, but my blouses are all creased, meaning I'll turn them into a "drawstring" once they're dry and hang them on the hanger.
T-shirts I just put together, maybe the wet things come for about 10 minutes in the dryer and then hung up, they are then smooth. If there are women (or even men) who find it comfortable to iron (can also be a very meditative activity, the thoughts go for a walk ...) I think that's great. I used to sweeten the ironwork with a glass of wine in front of the TV. Today the wine tastes also without;)
I do not put any clothes on right, if they land on the left side of the lingerie, the wearer can do it himself (I was always upset about the socks, which I always felt I had to "pull on the right"). That can also do the "carrier". Although I can see that the socks are being pulled upside down, I do not care.
Now, the laundry does not dry outside, I have two drying rack in the house (two laundry loads can thus dry at the same time) but also there I put together with the weight loss and distribute in the baskets.
I do not run after my family's underwear: I remember that the dirty laundry finds its way to me, but what is not there until Friday evening (for example), is not washed by me (it is also forbidden to anyone to wash themselves).
On average, there are 4 to 5 machines a week, because I have in any case 3-4 days on which my laundry does not do a job.
Maybe you have other ideas.
