minus-squareGormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down6·2 years agoI just start a timer on my phone? I have one for both my dryer and my washer. I load the washer then start the timer, when it goes off I just load it in the dryer then start the other timer. It’s super easy and it’s no effort at all. I had an old wind up kitchen timer with writing on it for a while but I missed it a few too many times so I switched to the phone timers.
