I'm in a training regime at the moment and have very limited time after work & gym for laundry. I had a similar problem with washing up but managed to find disposable plates & bowls; that means I don't need to do washing up anymore. Is there anything similar I can be doing with laundry? I stopped using towels for showering and now use disposable single use towels in that respect. But still have of course shirts & jeans etc. that need washing. Is there a cheap disposable thing I can be doing here? Or any other ideas so I can reduce the time spent doing laundry saving myself the time & energy.

  You can buy disposable underwear ;) But actually laundry takes rather less time than washing up – if you have a washing machine. A couple of minutes to load it, and couple+ to hang the clothes on a horse. But the question doesn't make sense: although you are on a training regime you can't do the laundry "because it takes energy". Perhaps you should try to solve the cause of a problem, and not its sympton. Is this an X-Y problem?

If you have the money, you can hire a service to do your laundry for you. This may be a local dry cleaner / laundry service; it may be a neighbor who needs extra money and has a washer-dryer; it may be someone who comes to your home just for that purpose; or it may be something else.

This would still take a little bit of time. You have to drop off your laundry with the service, and later you have to pick up your clothes when they're clean. Plus, that will take some of the money you made, which usually equates to time if you have a typical job: "I make $25 an hour, and laundry is $50 a batch, so I'm 'spending' 2 hours per load of laundry".

.

(I want to acknowledge Stan because he mentioned a "valet service" in his comment. This is basically the same idea, though I was thinking this already when I first read the question.)

You can reuse clothes more often. As an example, I go running for 10-20 km twice or three times a week, and after the first run I often just hang my clothes to air/dry instead of washing them. Yes, they'll still smell a bit when I put them on before the second run, but a new pair of clothes would do too after 10 minutes.
