After breakfast, parent rifles through dryer, searching for presentable ensemble for self for outing. Must run dryer 10 minutes to remove heat-set wrinkles. Having only five minutes for this task, parent dons semi-wrinkled jeans and top. The family is late to the outing. The in-laws, bless them, say nothing.
Parent vows to do better .
Clothing is not washed on a regular schedule. Washing routines are interrupted, leaving clothes to sit in washer or dryer acquiring wrinkles and mildew. Clothes are neither consigned to laundry collection points when dirty, nor put in convenient storage once clean. Because their system is so poorly planned and executed, this family loses time, money and harmony in the daily ritual of getting dressed. It's these resources of time, money and harmony your family stands to gain when you develop household systems.
