I recently realized that I’m slightly obsessed with finding the best way to fold things around the house. I’ve come to realize that finding just the right way to fold items make them easier to organize, which keeps my home and my life calmer and simpler.
Here, let me give you an example. By folding tee-shirts following these 5 steps, you can neatly file them in your dresser drawer and fit many more shirts than by folding them the traditional way. Really. You’ll be surprised at how many more shirts you can fit in your drawer and how much neater your drawer will stay.

And more recently, I showed how I’ve started folding plastic shopping bags so that they stay neat and take up less space.

That’s how I was trained to fold clothes when I worked in retail. They always looked so nice. Too bad I don’t keep my own shirts like that when they’re in the drawers!
