Emily Guy Birken recommends adopting Fly Lady's suggestion of doing one load of laundry daily to maintain organization and efficiency. This includes gathering dirty laundry in the morning, transferring it to the dryer after work, and folding and putting it away after dinner, thereby preventing wasted time and money.
“For instance, Fly Lady.net, the reigning queen of housekeeping and tidiness, suggests doing one load of laundry every day.”
“This means gathering up all the dirty laundry every morning before work and starting a load.”
“After a few weeks of doing this, you'll find your laundry is always caught up, and you won't be wasting time in the morning looking for a clean shirt or wasting money on your utilities and cleaning supplies.”
