Came up with a great idea when washing clothes!
My wife just finished drying a load of her stuff as I was loading the washer with a full load that was only half my dirty clothes as we just came back from a trip.
I realized that this was going to take me a long time as I had to wait for the first load to wash then unload it to the dryer before I could put in the second load. That's a big waste of time. Then suddenly, it hit me!
I ran the first load through the washer and put the second load through the dryer. When they're both done, I'll reverse them. This way both loads will be done by the time one load is normally completely finished. what a time saver!

I have a suspicion as to why.
