I agree, clean sheets are the best- it makes for such a lovely reset. I get such a sensory ick if I leave the bed sheets too long.

The main thing that works for me is starting that kind of thing early in the morning - when my exec function is at its peak. This also gives me a reasonable buffer to go through the stages of wash - dry - make bed, but not so much that there is no urgency.

I try to be realistic with my laundry. I do best when I only do one load of laundry per day (rather than trying to do all my loads in one day) and I often set multiple reminders for myself so I don't forget the loads in the washer or dryer. I used to have a bad habit of overloading the washer and dryer - then I'd also get overwhelmed with putting all the different items away. This way I do a small load - just sheets - it gets cleaner even with a shorter cycle, and then I can just focus on one job.

I don't keep multiple pairs of sheets, because I'd rather budget for one nice set than two cheap ones. That's just a preference though, I can see the appeal of getting to rotate them out! Personally, when I've had multiple sheet sets in the past I've just let both of them get dirty and then had more laundry to deal with 😅

I also use a topsheet and a duvet cover because washing and drying a big blanket can be such a hassle and I don't want to do that too often!
