Laundry Piled High

Why can I not keep my laundry under control?? I wash, dry, fold, and..............ahhh there is the problem. It takes forever for them to get put away. Why does the putting up of laundry seem so horrible, when it's the job at hand? How do you keep your laundry under control? Do you have a schedule you follow or is it just always crazy like it is at my house?
