Laundry is easily my least favorite chore out of all of them—mostly because it always takes so long to sort, wash, fold, and iron all of my clothes. Here are a few clever tips that take little work, but can speed up your laundry doing exponentially.

The biggest thing I’ve learned is this: If I’m rushing to get laundry done when I could be doing other, more important/fun things, I’ll hate it even more. So, now I plan ahead and do my laundry when I know I’ll be doing something like relaxing in front of the TV—that way, when it comes time to fold, I don’t feel like I’m taking time out of my day to do it. I’ve even programmed it into my Google Calendar so I remember. No amount of laundry tips can make it more fun when you’d rather be doing something else.
