Whenever you are loading the washing machine, or hanging the laundry to dry/loading the dryer, don’t put the socks straight away. If you get one sock, set it aside, and wait to have the other sock before putting them wherever they need to go. This way you drastically reduce the amount of odd socks/ socks with no pair.
If you find a single sock when you’re at the dryer, look for it in the washing or on the floor; you know it has to be there because you make the habit of always loading the pair. If you have a single sock at the washer, don’t wash it; wait until you find the other one, keep it in your basket.
I wash all my socks together in a mesh laundry bag and then dump it out into the dryer. Much faster than trying to match wet socks when moving the load.
I have a specific bag that lives in the hamper and I put socks straight into it so no chance of running out of mesh bags or losing socks in the hamper :)

I have a mountain of matching socks. They’re all pairs. I’m living in the year 4024. It’s very warm btw.
I intentionally wear mismatched socks. It’s an homage to one of my heroes.
I do too,but for other reasons! Like being in a hurry. Who’s your hero?
Its you!
Nah, it’s you, you know that, stahppit! XD
Dawkins?
I’d guess Pipi Longstocking.

That helps too but sometimes I run out of mesh bags. Also not applicable to loading the wash, only to unloading.
