Ironing / Steaming

How do yall approach ironing / steaming logistically? I find I struggle to get myself to do it most mornings before work / right before bed the night before & this leads to me just wearing lazy fits based on what items aren’t wrinkly from the wash. Considering doing fits for an entire week on Sundays (essentially clothes meal prep), but wondering if there’s anything anyone else does to simplify (or just tell me to suck it up)

If you hang dry them most things dont even need steaming

Fortunately, Ironing is entirely optional with the following procedure:

Wash on a low spin cycle
Take stuff out of the machine relatively quickly
Hang to dry, make sure stuff is not wrinkled when hanging.
3 1/2. Hang your shirts on hangers to dry and just store them that way

I do it that way and I rarely if ever need to iron stuff. You occasionally get the freak deep-set wrinkle you need to iron out, but thats it.

Also in case you have wool trousers: After wearing, fold them along the creases and let them hang from the hems with those trouser hangers that have these lil clippers on them. That way the crease lasts for a loooong time

i too am lazy. if you have low humidity hang then dry is a nice lazy option. as an example of how lazy i am, last week i took a wrinkled shirt, twirled it in the shower, and hung it to dry overnight. looked fine the next day.
