I by no means live an uncomplicated life, but there is one practice I hit on a few years ago that is as simple as it is effective.
Throw away all your socks, and replace them with 10 identical white pairs and 10 identical black pairs. You never have to sort or match socks, and when you’re getting dressed, you just open the sock drawer and grab any two socks of the same color.
Plus, they all wear more or less evenly. So after six months or a year “I haven’t measured accurately”, you throw them all away and start again.
Of course this doesn’t work if you’re a sockophile and like to match your socks to your outfit. And yes, it is much more applicable to men than to women. But if you don’t care that much about your hosiery, it works beautifully.
