    have two sheets, put the new one on right after taking the old one off. put the old one in the laundry pile and wash it with your clothes.

      Yup, except wash them separate so you can use warm water and not ruin cloths. Unless you’re lucky enough to have durable cloths from 10 years ago. And wash them right away, or you’ll end up in the no-sheet situation anyway.

        I’m not so lucky and I wash everything in cold water and together, except if I have enough linens built up, then I wash them in separate loads.

          Hah, my washer is small, hadn’t considered that. A set of sheets and pillow cases fills mine as it is 😃

      Then I’d have to learn the black magic that is folding a fitted sheet AND actually fold them every time I change my bed/wash the old set.

      Can’t just leave clean laundry in a pile either… That’s just going to bother me; are they clean or not? If it’s clean, it’s gotta be put away neatly, but It’s gonna have to stay in the dryer until I work up that kind of courage.

      Nope, just gonna fight myself to put them back on the bed once they’re clean…

        For the fitted sheet, what I do is roll it up instead of folding, then shove it inside the matching pillowcase. When it’s time to change sheets it makes it super easy to grab and have the whole fresh set, no fussing around.

        Now, actually putting them ON the bed? Still can be a struggle lol

        The trick is to swap it after washing so that you never have to fold it and it just lives in the laundry hamper

        I have a shelf in one of my closets where I just mindlessly shove all my sheets, blankets, pillow cases, etc. It actually works surprisingly better than you’d expect; I’ve never had any issues finding things

        I mitigate this by having bins for clean laundry. I have underclothes in one, outer clothes in another, and linens in a third in my closet. If folding is a strong need for you that’s probably not going to work but it does keep the dryer clear (mostly) so reduces friction for doing new laundry.

      You need a backup too in case of spills and so you’re not at the mercy of executive dysfunction when it comes time to replace one of them.

        True, however my dysfunction is around not washing the sheets as often as i should so I just kind of accept small stains. Don’t really have a process for that yet. I’ve got other more pressing chores to learn to manage atm so it will probably be a while before I figure that out.
