The part I despise the most is putting them in the closet. I’ve tried many solutions, but I’ve not found any that made the job less tedious.
When I was a student, I just threw my clothes into various shelves based on the type and considered that good enough. I did not fold clothes ever. I just threw the boxers in one shelf, the socks in another, T-shirts in another, pants in another.
As an adult with a family, this won’t be accepted anymore.
I had a period in which I had a dryer, but I did not find that it saved me a lot of time because the fastest way to get the laundry into the shelves and the hangers is by sorting it first. And if I had to sort it anyways, I could just sort it on the drying rack and put it on the hangers on the drying rack.
I think it’s fairly hard to find solutions to fix this.
I have considered mapping out each step, and then try to identify the pain points. Then find ways to remove as much friction as possible. Kind of like how an UX designer would handle this.

Dresser. Little boxes called drawers that hide your lack of folding. They’re great for things like underwear items.
Of course, you’ll look like like child or homeless person walking around in crap that’s wrinkled to that degree. Depending on your job, you may get pulled aside for a talk regarding your appearance.
The dresser will remove roughly half this onerous task for you, reducing clothes on hangers in a closet, but you’ll likely still need clothing that doesn’t look like it came from the dirty floor pile.
The definition of adulting is accepting a list of tasks you never really want to do. Until you’ve done that, you haven’t really grown up all the way yet.
