I’m trying to to find the balance between having an anti-clutter space for a clearer head versus not being wasteful about over washing things like button shirts or jeans which don’t get used for a large portion of my day.
I used to throw them over my computer chair but I recently moved my computer out of my bedroom.
I think the best option is to hang them up in the closet so they can air out a little more than back in a drawer.

I just put things back in my closet. Eventually I’m too lazy to do that and throw it in the laundry bin. I live in a mostly cold climate though where I don’t sweat excessively. I have the same routine in the summer but end up wearing things once, maybe twice depending on how much I’ve sweat
Hooks on the back of the bedroom door.
The floor behind my chair.
I know, I’m a god of anti-clutter and organization. AMA.
The Chair™
Floor of the closet near my hamper. I also set out my next day clothes there. Keeps from waking my wife by opening drawers in the morning.
I also throw them over my computer chair. If not the computer chair, I throw them over the overhead shelf in my closet or the other computer chair.
On a dedicated chair set aside just for that
The Simone chair.
Same! Close to my bed, but not next to my bed.
I love my Clothing and Blanket Chair
Funny you should ask. Simone Giertz has a whole project specifically for solving this problem.
Was going to post this if it wasn’t already linked. I watched this when it came out and was highly skeptical right up until the demonstration. It did exactly what she wanted and now I want one too.

Bamboo ladder. Before that: the chair.
On the clean cloths chair
On my clothes chair.
I heard someone remark once that “If it’s clean enough to put back on your body, it’s clean enough to be put back” and that changed how I look at things
Although in practice, I either hang stuff up on hooks on the back of my bedroom door, toss things on The Chair, or use half-dirty laundry to cover up the shame of the unused exercise equipment. Old habits are hard to break I guess
“If it’s clean enough to put back on your body, it’s clean enough to be put back”
I think I disagree there, clothes that are clean enough to be worn for another day aren’t necessarily clean enough to be stored over a period of time. Think of it like food; there are leftovers that are probably OK to eat the next day but you would probably would want to treat them separately from your fresh food.
Well, that’s once again changed the way I look at things
Easy come, easy go
Agreed. Pants that have sat on public benches, chairs, etc. are okay to go sit on more public benches and chairs another day, but them hanging out with clean clothes is not the same thing.
On the floor next to my bed, or if I’m feeling less lazy I’ll set it on the dresser next to the bed.
I fold them and set them on a dresser or in a drawer, depending on how soon I’m going to wear them. Shirts I hang up with the hanger facing the “wrong” way to indicate to myself that one’s already been worn once.
