[quote=Anonymous]For an ADD person I am actually remarkably organized at this. It helps having dogs who will sleep on the piles of clothes if you leave them on the floor. Our closets aren't big but I have those skinny fuzzy hangers that don't take up a lot of space.

Closet: reach-in, double-hung.

On bottom rung, left to right: 
skirts, fanciest all the way at the wall, then work/casual more accessible, organized roughly by length and color; 
any pants that need to be hung in the middle; 
knits on the right. 
On top rung, left to right: blouses and shirts, organized by sleeve length and then color; 
dresses in the middle, also by sleeve length and color;
suits on the right.

Dresser: tall, five drawers.
Top drawer: underwear and bras
Next drawer: socks and tights
Under that: pajamas, plus a couple yucky things for gardening/painting
Second from bottom: tshirts, organized roughly by sleeve length and color
Bottom: pants that don't need to be hung. One pile of skinny jeans, one pile of non-jeans (cords, khakis) one pile of non-skinny jeans

Cedar chest full of sweaters: this was kind of a mess until I culled and organized a couple weeks ago. Now I have a stack of black and gray, a stack of green and blue, a stack of red and pink, etc.

I only have a single hamper (and the two kids each have one) but if I had more room in my room or a bigger bathroom, I would have a divided one.

The hamper is in a corner, so anything that needs to be dry cleaned can go behind the hamper without looking messy, getting slept on by dogs or ending up in the hamper and getting washed by mistake.

I do big loads of laundry on a constant basis and have four laundry baskets. I will admit by the time everything gets folded and put away, there is usually more than enough for another load to start again. Loads usually end up being whites, mediums (tan, light blue etc.), pinks/reds, and darks. Cleaning lady does sheets and towels.

Put a load in the washer in the morning before work, put same load in the dryer after work. After dinner and kids are in bed, fold in front of bad TV, feel less bad about watching the bad TV.

Hope this helps.[/quote]
