The typical family washes 300 loads of laundry a year. I do a load a day... skipping a day here and there...so that is definitely accurate for my family.

And when I say I 'do laundry,' there is not much 'doing' as much as there is 'waiting.' There is very little we have to 'do' these days because our modern appliances make it so easy.

Whether we're doing laundry at home or the laundromat, once the clothes are in the washer or dryer, we really just push a few buttons...and have no other work to do except fold and put away.

Many years ago, doing laundry could take all day. Women were mostly responsible for this chore...and there were no 'easy buttons' to press. It took hot water, washboards, and paddles...and was backbreaking, exhausting, time-consuming work.

I'm grateful we're living in a time when hands-on laundry time per load is only around 15 minutes. The machines do most of the work.

Here are six things my family does to make the laundry process easier in our home:

1) We have one laundry sorter in our laundry room. It's divided into three compartments. The first is for towels and underwear. The second is for white and light colored clothing. The third is for dark colored clothing. Each family member is responsible for sorting his or her own laundry into the proper compartments.

2) We also have two small, mesh laundry bags hanging on the sorter...one is for delicate items and the other is for socks. We wash these items right in the mesh laundry bags and nothing gets lost or snagged. (Note: Bras should be clasped shut to help avoid snags and tangling.)

3) The laundry room is well-organized and well-stocked. Everything we need to do laundry is easily available...detergent, stain-remover, fabric softener, dryer sheets or dryer balls ,bleach which I use occasionally, tennis balls to add to the dryer cycle to keep a jacket or comforter fluffy when needed, and a foldable, drying rack for items that cannot go into the dryer. I also keep an all-purpose cleaner and disinfectant spray in the laundry room to wipe down the washer and dryer when needed...and a small bag to place lint after each dryer cycle (that gets emptied out on trash day.)

4) We do one load a day, so the laundry never gets out of hand...and we are always caught up.

5) We have the loud buzzers set to ON, so we can hear when the cycle on both the washer and dryer is done. When the cycle ends, we move clothes from the washer to the dryer...or out of the dryer and fold...immediately. If something is going to be hung, we don't fold it. We just lay it flat and bring to the bedroom closet for hanging.

6) We never leave the dryer on when nobody is home. Trust me, if a dryer fire starts, that could end up in a disaster. When running a cycle a month ago, I smelled smoke and immediately turned it off. Some lint which made its way into the innards of the dryer was actually singed when the repairman took the appliance apart. Don't ever think a dryer fire can't happen.

No matter what your dog's problem behavior is, be it jumping, peeing in the house, aggression, pulling on the leash...or whatever, there is ONE SOLUTION that can help STOP this problem now.

The sad fact is, most dog trainers miss this solution entirely. They give you cookie cutting training programs. They use outdated, mean, and unkind dominance techniques. Or worse yet, they have no qualifications to be offering advice. So what's the answer to stopping your dog's behavioral problems? In 5 simple words...

Discovering your dog's hidden intelligence.

Let me explain. More intelligent dogs are better behaved. A more intelligent dog takes commands easier and understands what you need. The good news is, no matter how clever you think your dog is, you can unlock your pet's hidden intelligence quickly and easily.

Don't waste a second longer coping with problem behaviors you don't need to be dealing with. Visit this link to learn more about Brain Training for Dogs:

___ 3. Address a computer problem. When I have a computer problem, or issue with one of my devices, I always do this before seeking other help.
