What's great about a folding pile that eventually it just becomes your wardrobe. For every piece of clothing I grab from the clothing pile to wear I get to skip folding one piece of clothing.

To avoid this, I now hang almost everything on hangers. It’s not a perfect system, but I’m WAY better about doing it than folding, because folding sucks.

I did that for a long time, but hangers and hanging things became such a hassle and started not being efficient/ friendly enough.

I basically don't fold anything now. My jeans get thrown over the hanger bar, my shirts get laid out semi flat so there's no intense wrinkling, and everything else pretty much has its own drawer. The only things I hang now are hoodies, and I have a system like a front entryway coat hanger, so they just get put on the hooks and it's done.

Hang the fancy stuff, everything else gets stuffed into a drawer

This worked for me as well!

The only things that lay flat are sports shorts folded in half and the few sweaters I own. Shirts, other shorts, and pants are all on appropriate hangers. When I get something out I don't mess up the piles!

Same, everything but socks and underwear goes on a hanger.
