What do you mean “put away”?
They’re already in the clean clothes pile, where else would they go?
Right? They are not on the floor. That should be enough. Who are you OP? My mom?!?!
Your mom is your mom!
It bothers me that actually dirty and clean are right next to each other. I would swap ‘only kinda dirty’ with ‘actually dirty’ and reverse the order of all of them. Clean on the left and going progressively dirtier as we move to the right.
I didn’t notice this. Now it bothers me too. [email protected]
They aren’t on the ground. That’s too much effort.
I was just going to say, who has the energy to sort them into bins?
And why that specific order for the bins? Why aren’t they arranged by dirtiness, ffs? Aaaah!!
The dryer is the clean clothes bin. Surprised the author doesn’t know that
the 4th bin is actually just my floor
All the bins are floor, specific parts of the floor, just a bit away from each other
No, sometimes one of the bins moves between the bed and chair.
Ah, yes, the mythical traveling floor bin that isn’t a bin nor on the floor, yet every evening it migrates to the chair & then makes the long journey back to bed in the morning-ish …
I see nothing ADHD-specific here.
Is it because you’re unfamiliar with ADHD or because it doesn’t affect you that way? Because procrastination and/or mess blindness is extremely common with ADHD.
I think they mean plenty of non-ADHD people have haphazard clothes cleanliness policies as well, so they feel this isn’t an ADHD meme.
Pretty much all ADHD symptoms overlap to a degree with non-ADHD people, though, so it’s kind of unreasonable to say that means it’s not ADHD related. It’s not like developmental disorders compartmentalize themselves neatly into one category or severity of symptoms.
Yeah, I’m fairly ignorant to it all but it seems like a lot of ADHD symptoms are typical issues all people deal with, just amplified?
Pretty much, both in intensity and frequency. And when it’s something that someone without ADHD might be able to deal with or overcome fairly easily, depending on the issue for people with ADHD it can be much more difficult to do.
I didn’t say it wasn’t ADHD related.
But not unique to ADHD.
Very little about ADHD is unique to ADHD because that’s not how developmental disorders work. Clearly people here found it relatable.
Yes, it’s funny. I didn’t say it was inappropriate here.
I think a lot of people can relate to it, that’s all.
Maybe involuntary procrastination (unsure of the proper name for it)

What are you even talking about? What about multiple labeled baskets to sort laundry screams “my life is out of control” to you?

If all the “can only be worn one more time” are all in a pile, that smell is gonna compound and it’s gonna be dirty pile #2
Am I the only one who can’t rewear an article of clothing even if I’ve worn it for 20 minutes and is technically clean? How are y’all rewearing clothes like that.
Go backpacking or remote camping. You’ll find out much easier to wear the same clothes for multiple days. Cause at that point, everything smells like bonfire anyway lol
Packing list:
1 shirt
1 pants
4,00,000 underwear
For me it depends. If I wore a shirt just to go out and grab my mail, I’ll probably wear it again. Quick trip to the grocery store when it’s not hot and I didn’t sweat? Maybe wear it one more time or use it for getting the mail. If I wore a shirt all day, leaned or sat on public furniture that likely isn’t cleaned regularly (i.e. cinema seat, restaurant chair, plane seat), or was in a crowded place in close proximity with a lot of other people (i.e. concert); that’s definitely one wear and goes straight for laundry when I get home.
No. Personally I’m still able to do that but when I do I kind of feel like I’m doing something I shouldn’t have.
I have a compartment in my closet where I put all the shirts I’ve worn but I feel still are clean. Unless they smell bad it doesn’t really matter imo.
You get more wears out of your clothing if you let them air out between wears. I got one of those over the door hooks and it’s been a relationship saver.
This is me except the bins are just different corners of a closet.
Right. I need bins.
I just have one set of clothes 20 times…
Or 500 pairs of unmatched socks
They are all the same so no problem
I’ll wear them unmatched as long as they are relatively the same size lol
If you have a washer/dryer in your house or apartment I have a tip! Put your basket next to the unit itself. This ensures that you notice how full your clothes bin is every time you add an item to it. It also lowers the barrier for starting the task when it finally is full
Someone told me that they no longer fold their clothes when they put them away.
To me, it’s anathema.
What do you think?
I totally relate. When you struggle to do the most basic things it’s understandable to take shortcuts. For example I don’t even put my things away but hang them on my exercising equipment because it’s very convinient and I don’t even use it anyway when I spent a bunch of money on it. 💀
Edit: I’m at the stage where I have established places for different types of clothes and a place for clothes that I already wore.
I dump my clean clothes on my closet floor and close the door, which is technically put away (permanent press fabrics for the win!). Out of sight out of mind, and the baskets are free for dirty stuff. So I guess I kinda do that too, just lazier.
I’ve never folded laundry though, I hang everything up when it gets put away properly, and socks an undies just get shoved in the drawer.
Out of sight out of mind
Meanwhile I also experience “In the sight out of mind”. When I have something important to do with something I like to put in a very visible place but as soon I put it in a visible place it blends into the background. lol
That’s what the other side of my bed is for.
In the winter, I will wear top layer up to 4 or 5 times, depending upon if they get visibility dirty. Like mud or a lot of salt from the road. Base layer gets changed every day. I will wear snow gear as well, most days, and I feel that it protects it. Top layer that is. Socks and underwear every day, year round. Somer time, depends on how sweaty I get. But not more than twice.
