There is no other way to deal with those dirty clothes that have been pilling up and threaten to take over your bathroom, closet or even apartment. Laundry day has arrived and although your phone, which has not rang for two days, is now ringing like crazy as friends want to invite you to the big game or for another night out in town, you have to reject every single offer so as to stay in and "do your laundry." Well, things are not as bad as you might think. It is important that you do have clean clothes to wear everyday, but equally important is for you to allow yourself some time to relax and enjoy life in and out of your wardrobe. Although you believe that there is no way the two could be ever combined, the tips that follow can save you precious time and energy, allowing you to visit that new "hot" spot in town in a perfectly-looking attire.

First of all, inspect your current wardrobe situation. Have the clothes that need to be washed reached a dangerous height zone? If yes, grab immediately your daily planner and a pen and sit down. Now open your calendar on your current day and check your free-time schedule for the upcoming week. Is there a two hour time frame anywhere in there that could be named "Laundry Time?" Perhaps you do not wish to admit it, but I believe there is. Between working, visiting the gym, going out to party or watching a movie, there must be a time slot somewhere in there which you can select to designate as your "laundry zone." Since the pile of dirty clothes seem always to increase, regardless of how diligent you are in washing them every week or fifteen days, it is important to plan ahead so you will not have to miss your next chance to celebrate out with friends. Select the day that seems most convenient, which could be any weekday depending on your current schedule, and then note down the "laundry time" title up until the end of next month. But, remember that before choosing the time frame for you to do this house errand, you should also check when your apartment building's washing machines are going to be less occupied by other tenants. If you belong to that lucky group of people that have their washing and dryer machines inside their house, there are really no excuses for you to stall this laundry-business anymore. Upon selecting the day and the time to do your laundry every week or fifteen days-the frequency depends on the number of people you are taking after, like kids or parents-it is important to stick with it! Have in mind that the time you will assign for you to do your laundry should become your new "house ritual," if you wish to keep this ever-growing situation under control.

With the date and the time out of the way, it is now time to ease the process. If you have the necessary space, buy an extra laundry basket and place it near the one you do currently own. Instead of throwing together whites and colored clothes, you can now separate your laundry in advance. This provides you with the alternative of washing the clothes that need to be washed together, saving you time and energy. If for example, your whites pile up sooner than your darker clothes do, you can revise your laundry schedule and wash your whites every week, keeping your darker laundry every fifteen days, and vise versa. In addition, you will now have a simple system to separate them before having to kneel in front of washing machines and do this on the floor. If your current space does not allow you to give this system a try, you can still separate the single basket into two parts, by putting a piece of board in the middle or a smaller basket inside the bigger one. Finally, you do not have to be in the house for your laundry to be completed. You can wait for the half an hour it takes your washing machine to finish its cycles and upon putting your wet attires in the dryer you are free to go outdoors to do whatever you like. If you select to stay in, take advantage of this time, to take a shower, read a book, cook dinner, or simply chill out. Before you know it your wardrobe will be clean and you can again enjoy wearing the clothes of your choice anywhere you wish.
