One of the most arduous household tasks is undoubtedly folding laundry.
Now what if there was a foolproof way to fold everything from your clothing to your sheets (while not losing your mind)?
I know that I’m not the only one who leaves heaps of clean laundry on my bed for a couple of days before I finally get around to folding each individual item and putting them away in their designated drawers. I also know I’m not the only one who would rather sleep on that pile of laundry than dig in and get to folding.
Here’s the thing: If approach laundry with the right mindset and look at folding not as an annoying task, but as a soothing way of getting your life organized, it could turn into a somewhat palatable household chore (or at least that’s what I have been telling myself).
If that sounds like a bunch of baloney to you, then at least learning how to properly fold your clothing will help you through that laundry hurdle.
Have you been folding your shorts and T-shirts haphazardly for as long as you can remember? I know I have!

#8 Folding socks the right way
Did you know folding socks one inside the other ruins the elastic band of the sock. Yep, it isn't the wear and tear nor the laundry, it's this kind of folding that slowly ruins your socks. You can solve this problem with this simple folding technique. Just put the socks one on the other in the shape of a plus (+) creating a square that doesn't stretch the sock and ruin its elasticity.
#9 Folding a baby's overalls
Is it a shirt, is it pants? How do you fold this thing? If someone knows a better, simpler way than this, I'll be glad to hear about it. But this is the best way I know, I wish someone had told me this when my son was still a baby.
