Put clothes in the laundry basket
Dropping clothes in the basket instead of on the floor is a tiny step, but that is exactly why it slips the mind right when it matters. The visual support below makes the habit visible so it lands in the flow instead of outside it.

About this visual support
It comes down to seconds. Dropping clothes on the floor or placing them in the basket differs by just a small movement, but in the moment of undressing the mind is already elsewhere, and the simple act gets skipped without anyone noticing. It is not unwillingness, it is that the step never quite registers.
Visual support makes the invisible step visible and ties it to the right moment. A picture by the bed or in the corner where clothes usually land works as a reminder right where it is needed, showing plainly that the garments go on to the basket, not down on the floor. Over time the picture becomes a nudge baked into the undressing.
One concrete tip: put the laundry basket where clothes actually come off, not in a laundry room far away. The shorter the path between undressing and dropping in, the smaller the chance the floor wins. An open basket with no lid lowers the threshold further.
