      This made me think of episodes with the Silence in Doctor Who. Another chore, another mark on your arm…

      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
