The part I despise the most is putting them in the closet. I've tried many solutions, but I've not found any that made the job less tedious.

When I was a student, I just threw my clothes into various shelves based on the type and considered that good enough. I did not fold clothes ever. I just threw the boxers in one shelf, the socks in another, T-shirts in another, pants in another.

As an adult with a family, this won't be accepted anymore.

I had a period in which I had a dryer, but I did not find that it saved me a lot of time because the fastest way to get the laundry into the shelves and the hangers is by sorting it first. And if I had to sort it anyways, I could just sort it on the drying rack and put it on the hangers on the drying rack.

I think it's fairly hard to find solutions to fix this.

I have considered mapping out each step, and then try to identify the pain points. Then find ways to remove as much friction as possible. Kind of like how an UX designer would handle this.

Nakedness. Ideally find a work from home situation. Careful answering the door.

    Converting my family into nudists does not seem to be the right solution here.

    However, the idea of trying to reduce the amount of clothes that are worn daily might be on the right track.

    If you gotta do it, you could consider matching socks / underwear / undershirts. Then pants and shirts can be worn multiple times to cut back?

    I advocate getting your family to do the laundry and put it away instead and you can do something someone else doesn't like: cooking, or dishes, or lawn and garden care or something.

    Start with pants. You can wear one pair of bluejeans for a week.
