I’m like you and I’ve slowly started to embrace it. Sometimes that means three laundry baskets. One for clean one for dirty and one for wear again. And then iterating on top of that!

wont everything be wrinkled when you take it back out of wear-again basket?!

i just tend to order most things on hangers with the most newly washed things to the right, then every time i wear something and put it back it goes a bit closer to the left. then when im putting on a wash i know that its all the things on the very left that need to be washed.

another useful way to keep track of things is to hang up anything thats newly washed with the hook of the hanger facing towards you, then hang it up the normal way once you worn it. and i still order the newly washed things from right to left as well since theres the odd thing i dont wear that often which can go musty if its just sitting there for months, so when im putting on a wash sometimes i check the very left side of the newly washed things as well

Yup. But when it’s t-shirt and shorts, or t-shirt and jeans, I don’t care. I don’t really have any other clothes. I have a jumper somewhere and a cycling top.

Throw it into the dryer while you take a shower. Problem solved!

I did the third laundry basket for a bit. I think it's missing what's peak about the chair which is that I can still sorta see what's in the pile. I'm trying to find a coat hook esque system.

When I saw Simone Giertz's build, I immediately wished she'd start selling those. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H175G8NH2Cg - "A chair built for your half-dirty clothes". I'd love this to be my "3rd basket".
