For the fitted sheet, what I do is roll it up instead of folding, then shove it inside the matching pillowcase. When it's time to change sheets it makes it super easy to grab and have the whole fresh set, no fussing around.

Now, actually putting them ON the bed? Still can be a struggle lol

The trick is to swap it after washing so that you never have to fold it and it just lives in the laundry hamper

I have a shelf in one of my closets where I just mindlessly shove all my sheets, blankets, pillow cases, etc. It actually works surprisingly better than you'd expect; I've never had any issues finding things

I mitigate this by having bins for clean laundry. I have underclothes in one, outer clothes in another, and linens in a third in my closet. If folding is a strong need for you that's probably not going to work but it does keep the dryer clear (mostly) so reduces friction for doing new laundry.

True, however my dysfunction is around not washing the sheets as often as i should so I just kind of accept small stains. Don't really have a process for that yet. I've got other more pressing chores to learn to manage atm so it will probably be a while before I figure that out.

I'm not so lucky and I wash everything in cold water and together, except if I have enough linens built up, then I wash them in separate loads.
