oh we’ve tried many permutations over the past two decades. Current best worker is I kondo all the shit into his basket, stacked by location (that’s just an added structure pleasure for me right there) for him to put away and put away his socks and underpants in a fifo but easily visible for selection (sock fashionista) because he just cannot get a handle on it.

We’ve had a rough time of it lately so I figured I’d put away all his washing since I had spare spoons and that ended up in half an hour sorting his running gear and pyjamas because at some point his squirrel brain panicked and shoved everything into the nearest void. Found a pair of socks he’s been looking for since last year lol. We jive well on his running gear though 'cos I sort that by texture / purpose (eg: wicking / cotton / tank tops / lightweight jackets) so he knows what vibe he’s after according to weather.
