[QUOTE="Star*, post: 366928, member: 4964"] This may get a little expensive - but I'm a professional organizer.....(no seriously) I'm not only a good looking donkey I'm organized too. Mmmmmmmh. Get each of the boys 5 cheap dollar store laundry baskets. Mark each one with a color - White, Black, Grey, (red-Orange), Blue, Green, (Yellow-Purple) or if you have school colors that are maroon or whatever you may want to buy a separate basket for that particular color - typically boys don't have a bunch of yellow and purple....or red and orange things unless that's their school colors ---so adjust accordingly Now TODAY ----you say - I'm setting the timer and if you can get ALL your clothes separated into the proper baskets before the bell goes off? We will go/do/buy ......XXX (something HUGE) BUT for every article of clothing I find say - stuffed under the bed, in between the wall and the bed, under the dresser, desk, closet - etc? I take off a dollar from XXX or minute from etc. Now TOMORROW you say - I'm setting the timer and if you can get all your HARD PLASTIC ITEMS into the proper colored baskets before the bell goes off we will go/do/buy ......XXX It's very similar to what you are doing - except you are taking it up a notch. AND the laundry is essentially sorted for you -----you wash, you sort, you fold....and you have THEM - come get and put in the hall and then on day THREE ..........you say I'm setting the timer - YOU HAVE 20 minutes to properly put away all the laundry - in the WHITE BLACK AND GRAY BASKETS....BONUS POINTS IF YOU DO 1 extra basket or 2 extra baskets or GRAND PRIZE IF STUFF IS HUNG UP and EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA POINTS IF YOU GET DONE OR YOU GET DONE AND YOU HELP EACH OTHER AND BEAT THE CLOCK. SUPER SUPREME BONUS POINTS IF YOU BEAT THE CLOCK AND COME SEE ME AND I WILL PUT 10 BONUS MINUTES ON THE CLOCK AND YOU DUMP THE TRASH VACUUM YOUR ROOMS USE TEAM WORK _ you vacuum while you take out the trash.....and then you put the vacuum up and you dust.... I used to do this with DUDE and STEVEN and MAN.........I HAD CLEAN ROOMS IN NO TIME. AND SORTED CLOTHES......and I DIDN"T HAVE TO TAKE VALIUM when they were interested in doing it and I never had to get stitches in my feet for stepping on some lame matchbox car part. :raspberry-tounge: I still have boatloads of laundry baskets.
