I have a couple of ideas but they aren’t overnight fixes: • next time you have to buy a new mattress try to work toward having more of the same sizes • when you buy sheets try to get color schemes that coordinate with only certain size beds (i.e. all your king size sheets are blue hues, your full size sheets are green, your twin sheets are red, etc)

Separate shelves or separate closets is the easiest.

We have a single linen closest. In our house, we fold the queen-sized sheets and roll the twins. Flat sheets go on one shelf; fitted on the shelf below. It’s easy to know what to grab by sight then.

Well our beds are either twin or queen, so when folded it’s easy to tell the difference. And my daughter took over her own laundry when she turned ten, so there are never multiple sizes of sheets in the same load. Maybe you could get a certain color for each size bed, when it gets to be time for new sheets.

Why not make yourself keep it on separate piles and tag those piles with some glued piece of paper on the shelf? This requires extra attention while folding, too, though, to keep it separate

To make life easy never wash all the sheets at same time. So kid’s sheets one day king sheets another day. Then you can keep sorted sheets sorted.

For the future buy different colored sheets for each bed.

For now label every tag with different sharpie. So black for king, red for twin etc. Or if you can sew sew a tiny ribbon tag or dot several places on the sheet to make it obvious what size it is.

To store put in clear spaces so king on top shelf and twins on bottom etc. or is separate bins or whatever makes sense so it once sorted you know what it is.

To make sets of sheets make them into sets so put a set in each pillowcase or fold set into and wrapped by a sheets.

Why all sheet tags don't have their size and location of the tag printed prominently is beyond me. I want large print that says KING - BOTTOM LEFT. How hard is that?

Bike with helmet. You’ll get there in probably like 30 minutes. The time savings alone are worth it. Please also get some 20$ bike lights on Amazon if you are going to bike on the road. A rear red blinker ensures people see you

Because of the way the kids might rummage through the closet, I've taken to just folding and putting everything into a single pillow case for the set. Nice and (mostly) tidy. Even stacks, so long as it's folded on the inside.

For identifying when I take them out of the dryer, someone mentioned that the tags have the sizes. I just checked, and the ones I see don't. They just have code numbers.

There's got to be a better way other than buying all bright red for the kids and everything else for us, because that's what I'm close to doing.

Nothing. No one likes someone who's always trying so hard to be liked. Just be yourself and accept that not everyone will like you

I write the size on the tag with a marker

Store them in different drawers or on different shelves.

I have two suggestions - I’ve used both successfully. 1. Consider putting them in different places when you fold them. The king sheets go in this place, the queen in this place, etc. 2. Buy some different colored clothes pins and when you fold them, put a specified color on the front of the folded sheets. So, in the stack, you can quickly assess which sheets are what size.

I’ve also started folding the fitted sheet and pillow cases. Then folding the top sheet in such a way that it wraps around the fitted sheet and pillow cases, so it’s all one stack.

I hope these tips help!

Two kids rooms. Plus, it's hard to tell what's what when washing/drying them. Sometimes a Full sheet will get mixed into a king set.

Is there some click on thing I can tag these with?

How do you people do it? Is this a Y chromosome failing of mine?

The tag typically has the size on it. When you fold the sheets just make sure the tag is visible. I told my sheets inside out so I can do this. It also keeps any dust from getting on the sleeping side of the sheet.

If the tag doesn’t have the size, write it on there.

How about storing each room’s sheets in that room rather than all in one closet?

I couldn't agree more. Some people act like getting a big tax refund each year is like winning the lottery. It isn't. It's their money and when they get it back it's worth less than when it was taken out of their paycheck, and the gov't pays no interest on that refund. The ideal situation would be to owe a small amount each year when you file.

Unless you're neurodivergent and have demand avoidance issues...

It's a proven fact that people love hearing their own name. Try and use Thier name as often as you can. Like instead of just a good morning. Say good morning Jane.. That's the best I can do for you. But also keep in mind there is nothing you can say or do to get everyone to like you. IMHO. Good luck.

The 1% Method by James Clear is also a book/audiobook I can highly recommend, building habits is key

I also suggest getting a bike, although you will probably have to scout a bit to find a safe route. If you are spending 100 minutes walking at a fast pace, that means you are probably walking about 5 miles. On a bike that should take only about 20-30 minutes. You might have to go a less direct route to stay off of busy streets, but even then it should be much faster than walking.
