Are you curious how you stack up against your neighbors when it comes to managing your time and doing laundry?
Well, according to a survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average American spends nine and a half minutes a day doing laundry.
The American Time Use Survey (ATUS) is an annual survey published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
So what’s the deal with this survey? Well, the BLS started collecting data in January 2003 and published the first survey in 2004. The ATUS measures how much time people spend doing different activities, including household chores like laundry.
The 2017 data reveals that Americans spend an average of 0.16 hours per day doing laundry-related tasks. That’s 9 minutes and 35 seconds a day or 1 hour, 7 minutes and 5 seconds a week.

What is Laundry Zero?
Laundry Zero refers to the practice of maintaining a consistently empty inbox by regularly processing and organizing incoming laundry.
The goal is to reduce build-up-related stress and increase productivity by avoiding an overflowing laundry basket and ensuring that all laundry is either hung/folded, in In-progress (w/ FCL), or scheduled for pickup in a timely manner(w/FCL).
The key to maintaining a consistently empty laundry basket, like an empty inbox, is to stay on top of the task and avoid letting dirty clothes pile up.
By establishing a routine and staying organized, you can minimize the time and effort required to do laundry and ensure that you always have clean clothes when you need them.
Laundry Zero Pro Tip:
Washing one load of laundry a day can be a helpful strategy to maintain a consistently empty laundry basket and achieve “laundry zero.”
By washing a small amount of laundry each day, you can prevent dirty clothes from accumulating and becoming overwhelming.
Additionally, washing one load of laundry takes less time and effort than doing several loads at once, which can help to reduce the sense of overwhelm and make the task feel more manageable.
To make this strategy work, you could designate a specific time each day to do a load of laundry, such as first thing in the morning or after dinner.
You could sort the laundry by color or fabric type as you go, and then wash, dry, and fold or hang the clothes as soon as they are ready.
By consistently completing one load of laundry each day, you can stay on top of the task and avoid letting it pile up, which can make it feel more manageable and less stressful.
