    I break it down into:

    • sort laundry (material, color, temperature)
    • start laundry
    • empty machine
    • hang laundry
    • take down laundry
    • put laundry away

    Sorting, taking down, putting away laundry doesn’t need to happen in one session, but can be broken down further. For example I can only put underwear into the drawer and nothing else else.

    Much more manageable.

    Laundry is one of the things I’m actually doing quite well with.

    I buy new detergent before the old one runs out. Also I buy big packs, so I buy detergent once a year or so. I have four different types of detergent: white, color, black, wool/silk. So even if I run out of one, I can still use one of of the others. Washing whites with color detergent is fine for example.

      Sometimes I break down the tasks into smaller pieces and it works but sometimes I get even more overwhelmed by the multiple new tasks so I end up doing nothing
