When you’re tired at the end of a long day, it’s tempting to toss dirty clothes onto the first available surface.
Consider this system: Invest in a laundry hamper that has a lid (so you can hide dirty clothes when you need to), but leave the lid open. Place the hamper in the most convenient location possible. When you’re tired, even little deterrents like removing the lid or opening up your closet can discourage you from staying organized.
If the problem is clean clothes that need to go back in the closet, consider leaving a few spare hangers near where you get dressed. When items are within arm’s reach, you’ll be more likely to stick to the system.
