Frankly, I find other household tasksgardening,cooking, anddecorating around my homemuch more enjoyable.

Alas, the laundry does have to be completed.

Indeed, any technique that can simplify laundry is a win in my book.

Professional organizers echo this sentiment as well.

Sometimes, simple is just better.

I’ve seen too many people overcomplicate the laundry process.

While folding other clothes, pull out the socks as you find them.

Have a smaller tub or extra smaller basket handy.

Toss the socks into the smaller tub as you fold other clothes.

Or better yet, have a family member complete this task.

can help tackle a mountain of laundry.

This way, clothing stays separate, and socks for one person dont end up mixed with others.

Again, this is an easy task to sub-contract out to family members and kiddos.

Its never too early to learn how to complete general household tasks, including laundry.

When this happens, just leave the sock or socks in the bin and wait for another laundry round.
