I figured out that I don't hate folding laundry. I only hate the getting started part of it.

I also learned that the amount of time I spend putting it off is directly related to the number of dryer sheets I find when I'm done. ?

I find the most difficult part of almost any chore is just getting started. Once started then it goes along fine until I am gone.

I don't do dryer sheets. The washer has an automatic feature that adds liquid pabric softener during the rinse cycle. I find the liquids work better than dryer sheets for softening fabrics.

Folding laundry always seems like a waste of time to me. Why go to all that effort when the finished product looks just like what I started with? 😉

But it feels good when we are done. (he says looking a full basket of clean laundry)

There's something very meditative about folding laundry. At least that's what I tell myself to get through it. It helps.

I kind of like it in the winter time when it's kind of chilly and the clothes are still warm.

Living alone I seldom fold laundry the conventional way. Socks and underwear are thrown into a drawer, shirts hung up, and pants are folded over the back of a chair. I do this in a way that I can know where everything is at and I do not use dryer sheets. I also use Dollar Tree detergents at a capfull only.

I don't use dryer sheets. They'll cause a film on your lint filter and cut the air flow if you don't wash the filter regularly. I use liquid in a Downy Ball.

I fold my laundry straight out of the dryer. Sometimes it doesn't make it out of the basket but at least it's folded.

Dry your clothes on a washing line. Better for the environment and saves money. I dry mine outside even in winter (as long as its dry). Also the wrinkles drop out. I like doing laundry and ironing but I get so little time to do it I end up with a laundry mountain.

Also ironing is very therapeutic.

@Amisja u
Why is your room so untidy ? Even your undies are lying around !

@VAL3941 Because I haven't done any laundry because I have been so busy. Its all drying on the line now

@VAL3941, @BookDeath Get a maiden (like a frame to dry clothes indoors). Mine came from Ikea and will dry a couple of loads.

@Amisja

When I have a chore I don't want to do (folding laundry, emptying the dishwasher), I set my timer for 7 minutes. That's all I have to do, It gets me started, and it's amazing what you can do inn 7 minutes. Then I can go back to my book. lol

Then you read for 7 minutes and go back too your chores ?

@VAL3941 No, I read for an hour, and I do a chore, like filing for 7 minutes. lol

@DevraisA1 try changing that. Read fir 7 min. then chore for an hour ! You will get more done ?

I think you just came up with a credible laundry/satisfaction algorithm.
