We only have two loads a week (3 of us). I always have do laundry either Friday or Saturday. I agree if you scale down your wardrobe it really helps.

@TemperanceBrennan: I've done it too.

There are only three of us, so Saturday/Sunday are our laundry days. If it's nice, I'll throw the first load in as soon as we wake up and hang them outside on our wash lines. If it's not, we have a ton of drying racks since I'm not a fan of certain things in the dryer.
Once everything is dry, we run everything through the dryer on low for 10 minutes to soften or take out any wrinkles and fold on our bed upstairs. If it's on our bed, it has to be moved for us to get in it at night, so it gets put away immediately. My husband will sometimes fold and leave the clothes in baskets. That just sits for a week until we put it away, but I really try to do the bed to force me to put it away immediately.

Get pregnant and tired, make my husband do it. That's been working out pretty well for me.

It's just the two of us now, so I'm sure this will change once baby gets here. Our dryer takes forever, so we could only do one load after work and I don't really like doing that, so we tend to do massive laundry days on the weekend. we usually do laundry every other weekend, but if we have to stretch to 3 weeks, my husband usually does a small load of undies/undershirts. We've got a big washer so we can usually get all our clothes in 2-3 loads. Then we do a load of towels/sheets about once a month.
The hardest part is folding/putting away. We fold/hang everything that needs to be folded/hung right out of the dryer. Clean undies/socks/undershirts get thrown in the hamper. We're pretty good about getting to that point but horrible at getting it upstairs and put away. So I now force myself to carry everything upstairs and put it all on our bed so that we're forced to put everything away before bed. It's the only way to make it happen.

DH does his own. I do two-three LARGE loads once a week. Usually on Saturday morning. Most of my work clothes are darker so I can just throw them all in and I don't do any special cycles or gentle cycles (whatever they're called). Everything gets thrown in together. Most weeks it's one load of my stuff and one load of DD's stuff.

I am just constantly doing it. Honestly, it is at the end of our main living area, in french doors, so it is easy to just do it with such easy access. We also don't have a lot of clothes. DH will throw a load in randomly as well, and finally we don't really fold, kind of just toss things where they need to go. I can't seem to keep up with folding.
