Want to put away laundry in half the time?
This is such an amazing video of a wacky efficient shirt folding technique. I tried it a couple times and got the hang of it! Windows media player file:

5. Well, I guess we Mac users will never find out
how to fold a shirt.

Or is it that we just don't care?

6. Don't ever fold sheets. Stuff each set into a pillowcase.
So what if they are wrinkled. They'll flatten out when you put them on the bed. Who cares if they are wrinkled before you put them on? Thanks for the shirt folding video.

11. Matha Stewart
taught me that but you have to fold them first her way. Seriously though, all my sets are together in a matching pillowcase. It is wonderful and takes much less room to store them.
