OK so a year or so back, I was putting a stack of tshirts temporarily on my bookshelf, and I liked it so much I started moving more of my clothes out of the drawers and onto the shelf. So now I have 3 shelves for books, two and a half for clothes, one for rocks, seashells, and other pretty things, and 1/2 for random items.
I really like being able to see all my clothes at a glance, and it is way easier to get dressed in the morning and put away laundry. I just make sure to put newly cleaned clothes at the bottom of the stacks whenever I do laundry. Is there a computer science term for a type of stack where you read off the top and write to the bottom?
Anyway my real question for this community is, “Am I missing out by not using drawer technology?” Some part of me thinks that there must be some advantage to using drawers for clothes that I just. don’t. get. (Besides the fact that it might not be normal lol - or is it? Are your clothes on the shelf? What do you think? Byeeeee!)
It depends on the sock, but if you’re rolling the tops of each pair together they’re easier to stack if you alternate between folded end away and folded end towards you. Then swap the pattern for additional layers.
Or just skip folding, throw them all into a small basket and cast off the shackles of social norms! Embrace mismatching your socks!
I have a pile of the ankle socks that I wear mismatched, (the pile sits on a shelf in the cabinet) and the long socks I fold and stack!
