And I definitely share your tendency to procrastinate on the folding! We have like 5 baskets sitting up in the bedrooms sometimes, full of clean clothes. I totally get the CHAOS thing too. I feel like people can't drop by most of the time. My washer does have a timer, but I don't use it. I really should. The only thing is the dryer - I won't put it on when we are sleeping or out of the house, because of dryer fires.

If the kids need something clean, they are responsible for doing their own during the week-- but I don't mind doing...bulk laundry?... on Saturday, especially now that we have a clothesline!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845655119160315582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132521194361824092.post-10980357047736402972014-09-02T02:01:23.639-04:002014-09-02T02:01:23.639-04:00Interesting Post!

My laundry is pretty small without a bench for folding (and boy am I looking forward to a laundry renovation!). I'm also determined to get the kids to help out more and fold properly, instead of balling things up! I never iron because we wear mostly casual clothes or I hang things so that they don't crease so that's one huge weight off my shoulders :)<br /><br />My biggest tip, and one I struggle with most of the time, is not to procrastinate when it comes to folding the washing. Yep, I say that knowing there's a huge load of clean washing sitting on my bed waiting to be folded... I'm trying to just get it done there and then, as soon as it's dry. I'm hoping to form a habit of immediately folding :) I've been following the FlyLady babysteps these past two months and my goodness what a difference-- "a load a day keeps CHAOS away" where CHAOS is Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome. Ha! She offered a tip the other day about using the timer settings on your washer and/or dryer if you have them, like putting the washing on really early in the morning so it finishes when you wake up, then you immediately hang it/put it in the dryer. I never thought of that, I don't even know if my washing machine has a timer...Veganopouloushttp://www.veganopoulous.com/noreply@blogger.com
