Gather dirty laundry
Walking through the whole flat to pick shirts off the floor, socks off the bed and a hoodie off the chair back means holding the plan in your head all the way. The steps below let the plan live in pictures instead.

About this visual support
Dirty laundry rarely lives in one spot. Pyjamas in the bedroom, a football shirt in the hallway, one sock under the sofa, a towel in the bathroom. For a child doing the whole loop, the plan has to travel from room to room while the eyes keep getting pulled toward other things. The brain drops the last stretch as soon as the first one succeeds.
A picture sequence moves the loop out of the head and into a visible order. One card per room, or one per type of spot (floor, bed, chair, bathroom), lets the child tick off one place at a time instead of trying to remember what's left. The laundry basket becomes a finish line, not a vague ending.
One tip: let the final card show the basket closed, so the child knows exactly when the round counts as done. In Routined you can build the same four or five stops every week, turning the route into something the body learns to recognise rather than a task that ends when energy runs out.
