As long as you wash the clothes faster than you use them, what is the problem with letting they pile up for a long time while you wash them in a more normal rate (like once a day, or once a week)?

For me, much like CPUs context switch my brain does as well when I have a backlog of stuff to do.

I too would prefer to just go spend 2 hours to Get It Done(tm) and cross it off the mental checklist. Plus in this particular instance it's a snowball effect for me on productivity - as I see progress and my house gets cleaner I feel mentally better and am able to more easily focus.

Humans are strange.

Clothes aren't all interchangeable. You'd have to predict in advance which clothes you're going to need next week, which isn't always easy.
Either that or it's trivially easy. The clothes you're going to wear next could just be the ones on the top of the drawer (or indeed the laundry basket).
They are not perfectly interchangeable, but most people have a few that could be used on each occasion.
