One strategy I've found for making it easier/less exhausting to put away clean washing - dedicated clean-washing metal laundry baskets on legs inside my wardrobe, so I can just dump clean clothes/clean sheets straight inside. No sorting, no folding, no lifting lids. The fact that they are on legs saves me having to bend/stoop, and also keeps them clear of any dust on the floor. I use Brabantia Bo Laundry Bin 60 litre.

Recently I learned that if you struggle with filling your cat's water dish at the sink and then carrying it, either due to hand/wrist pain or coordination issues (spilling water everywhere on the floor as you carry it), you can just fill a 1 Litre plastic water bottle at the tap, and pour the water from the plastic water bottle into the bowl when the bowl is sitting on the ground.
(You will still need to run the bowl through the dishwasher regularly to clean it.)
