The single sock dilemma

Consider keeping a small basket where you fold laundry for unmatched socks.  The next time you do laundry it is likely that you will find the other sock of the pair and know right where to find the match!  When your basket gets full, bid farewell to the loners, knowing that the majority of the matches for the socks in the basket have been lost for some time and are likely never to be found.
