Better than the monster that comes into an ADHD community throwing around the word “lazy”

Lazy, no excuses

I was never in it, so good riddance. I guess thats what you get for browsing the ‘all’ tab.
More like “not looking at the community before you comment”
Do people bother to do that?
I mean… I only browse lemmy by the all tab. I just check the community that it’s in before commenting
Sounds like your weren’t paying attention to where you were posting.
Emphatically wrong! Sleeping on a bare mattress is crazy. I just use the couch like I do many nights anyway.
The discomfort I feel at the thought of sleeping on a bare matress ensures that I will put the sheet on. Of course, only just before going to sleep when I want to do nothing more but flop onto my bed after staying up too long again
Nothing I love more than coming upstairs after my day of chores, exhausted, to find a ball of sheets on my bed. THANKS earlier me.
And earlier me is like “have fun, future me who will be very unhappy about this :D”
Just wash the pillowcases and not the sheets
I tell my spouse I can change the sheets in seconds, and pre-swap the sheets to accomplish it. This makes it a “fun” thing, that my brain is more than happy to focus on because it’s “fun”. It also happens with just the right frequency that it doesn’t become boring.
However, if my spouse ever found out the trick (or told me they did) the magic would be lost.
I don’t really get what you mean by preswapping, like you changed the sheets on a spare duvet and just swapped out the entire duvet, but then what about the sheets on the mattress? Or do you just mean you do the entire task of changing the bedsheets unobserved and then tell your wife you’re about to change them and announce that you’ve finished a few seconds later?
Pretty much the second.
Alright that’s fucking hilarious
This is why we have two sets and I have a day just for doing the sheets. Sheets off, pillows off, into washing machine, grab the clean sheets from the pile. Sheets do not get folded, that’s a nightmare. There’s just a pile of clean clothes. And the sheets. There’s also like fifty pillow covers they just accumulated somehow.
I too have spares of all the things I hate to clean. It’s gotten to the point where I plan on building a spare house…
That and my current one has mold that if removed, might cause a structural failure.
I have like 4 sets so I can do a full load while still having some on my bed. Have two little cubes to separate flat and fitted sheets.
Granted, I also generally take off the old ones in the morning to force me to put new ones on in the evening. Only like 10-20% of the time do I end up just putting a flat sheet or blanket down to lay on instead.
Everything happens in the morning so I can collapse afterwards for a nap!
By brother in-law can invoke something and actually fold fitted sheets
Must be American. Most the world air dries their sheets and hence has a second set
I have four sets. It’s always a gamble if any are clean, and even if they are, whether I can find them.
I have at least two new unused sheets, but I have no clue where they’re at.
*month
Hear me out: no bed sheets, only blanket on air matress
We can’t all be

have two sheets, put the new one on right after taking the old one off. put the old one in the laundry pile and wash it with your clothes.
Then I’d have to learn the black magic that is folding a fitted sheet AND actually fold them every time I change my bed/wash the old set.
Can’t just leave clean laundry in a pile either… That’s just going to bother me; are they clean or not? If it’s clean, it’s gotta be put away neatly, but It’s gonna have to stay in the dryer until I work up that kind of courage.
Nope, just gonna fight myself to put them back on the bed once they’re clean…
I have a shelf in one of my closets where I just mindlessly shove all my sheets, blankets, pillow cases, etc. It actually works surprisingly better than you’d expect; I’ve never had any issues finding things
I mitigate this by having bins for clean laundry. I have underclothes in one, outer clothes in another, and linens in a third in my closet. If folding is a strong need for you that’s probably not going to work but it does keep the dryer clear (mostly) so reduces friction for doing new laundry.
For the fitted sheet, what I do is roll it up instead of folding, then shove it inside the matching pillowcase. When it’s time to change sheets it makes it super easy to grab and have the whole fresh set, no fussing around.
Now, actually putting them ON the bed? Still can be a struggle lol
The trick is to swap it after washing so that you never have to fold it and it just lives in the laundry hamper
You need a backup too in case of spills and so you’re not at the mercy of executive dysfunction when it comes time to replace one of them.
True, however my dysfunction is around not washing the sheets as often as i should so I just kind of accept small stains. Don’t really have a process for that yet. I’ve got other more pressing chores to learn to manage atm so it will probably be a while before I figure that out.
Yup, except wash them separate so you can use warm water and not ruin cloths. Unless you’re lucky enough to have durable cloths from 10 years ago. And wash them right away, or you’ll end up in the no-sheet situation anyway.
I’m not so lucky and I wash everything in cold water and together, except if I have enough linens built up, then I wash them in separate loads.
Hah, my washer is small, hadn’t considered that. A set of sheets and pillow cases fills mine as it is 😃
Dog got sick on the sheet and the dryer is broken. I’ve slept on that bare ass mattress for two days so far. Dryer is supposed to be replaced today but I’ll be to drained after 10 hours at work to do wash.
Executive disfunction has prevented me from getting another sheet before this happened.
This post motivated me to purchase another set.
And the overwhelming urge to take a nap before the dryer is done rocking.
I eventually got a second bed set just to help me out on that front
But unfortunately they’ve got a different thread count so they have a different skin feel then the old ones so I absolutely can’t mix the sheets with the other ones because the difference is too jarring
Have two beds. Clean and remake one when sleeping on the other. Don’t switch until other one is clean.
This is how I end up with one dirty bed I sleep on and one bed buried under clothes (clean it dirty) and other things.
I have never done this, and I’ve been on long term sick leave for 15 years due to my executive disfunction/action paralysis. I have gone months without changing bedclothes but not once taken them off without having clean ones to put on at the same time. I’m pretty sure this is a problem from something else and not what’s stated.
