Simplify the finish
Use a basic fold that fits the drawer instead of a precise display fold. Suitable everyday items can be grouped in shallow bins where identification matters more than identical edges. Hang garments that benefit from it if the loading motion is manageable. Keep heavy knits and delicate pieces appropriately supported rather than assigning every item to a hanger simply to avoid folding.
Reduce sorting demands
Choose broad categories and leave enough room to return clothes without compressing them into a tight row. Put the most frequently used groups within comfortable reach and keep containers light and easy to open. If a helper is involved, agree on the level of folding actually needed instead of silently maintaining a more elaborate standard. Test the system through a full laundry cycle. The useful result is clean clothing that can be found and returned without unnecessary strain, not a drawer that looks uniform only when someone else has just arranged it.
