One Huge Way To Save Time On Laundry

written on 21 January, 2008 by Dawud Miracle

This has just about nothing to do with business development, marketing or social media, and I had to share it.

This morning I stumbled a video that I just need to share. Why? I’m not sure. Maybe it’s the simplicity of the message or the excellent tutorial involved.

I know it’s not a new video – you may have even seen it already. But I hadn’t. And just in case you hadn’t either, here’s the way to fold a shirt in 2 seconds

Interesting, huh?

Give it a try and let me know how it works for you. It took me just a couple of attempts and I had it down perfect.

Now, what are you going to do with all the time you’ll save folding laundry?

    Sure it could have things to do with business development, especially for those who often work from home. Any time saved on non-business stuff frees up time for working the business!

    That was fun. Thanks! I’m always paying attention to how I’m doing things and looking for more efficient ways.

    Way too cool. My wife was not impressed however. lol…must be a guy thing.

  • Carri Jan 22, 2008 at 1:39 am  

    Love this! I just tried it with my latest laundry batch. Cuts my time in half!

    Hey that was really neat! I hadnt seen it before so thanks for the video. I dont like folding laundry so if anything can make the chore easier, I’m going to try it!

    linkerjpatrick,
    Yes, I agree. And you should the post I wrote today about being remarkable.

    Jean,
    Wasn’t that neat?

    Adam,
    Why wasn’t she impressed? My wife loved it. Of course, I do the laundry in our houe.

    Carri,
    I had the same experience. I’m folding all my shirts this way now.

    Living Rooms,
    Funny, I don’t mind folding laundry. My issue is getting the laundry between the washer and dryer. I just can’t seem to get that done sometimes.

    That was easy, but shirts are not a problem for me. Anyone have any tricks for matching socks? I have a total aversion to socks!!!

    Char,
    Matching socks…with three young kids we just toss the socks in a bin and match them on the fly.

    This is indeed a remarkable video and quite how you and linkerjpatrick have reacted to it is very interesting. Good teachers always say that the best lessons one can have are what one observes from ordinary things. As a consultant, you should have come across this cliche, do not do things right, but do the right things or vice versa to suit the situation. This is surely one of those lessons!

    it looks cool though – not sure it’s practical enough – know what i mean?

    great post! Cheers!

    Home Recording,
    Absolutely. I’m always looking for messages inside what I experience. I guess I’m constantly curious about things and how they relate or tell a story. Thanks for recognizing that.

    Bingo,
    Have you tried it?

  • Irving real estate gal Jan 24, 2008 at 5:27 pm  

    I hate doing laundry! My mommy still helps me with it :)

  • Dawud Miracle Jan 25, 2008 at 10:16 am  

    Irving,
    We all have chores we don’t like. I don’t like scrubbing the shower.

  • M Jan 29, 2008 at 8:27 pm  

    Thanks for the video! I’m off to fold some laundry.

  • Dawud Miracle Jan 30, 2008 at 8:09 am  

    M,
    I’m done already.

  • Samantha Jan 31, 2008 at 11:52 pm  

    My whole life…I wish I could get the years back I’ve spent doing it the wrong way!!! :)

  • Dawud Miracle Feb 1, 2008 at 11:16 am  

    Samantha,
    I hear you. Though not the ‘wrong way’ just an inefficient one.

  • usa newspapers news Feb 9, 2008 at 4:44 pm  

    I called my wife to learn that:)She is now happy.I didn’t give fish,I taught how to catch it:)

  • Dawud Miracle Feb 10, 2008 at 10:10 am  

    usa,
    Let’s see if you’re going to respond to these comments I’ve left.

  • Paul Apr 5, 2008 at 9:34 am  

    OK, but you still have to lay each t-shirt flat before you go and fold it. Doesn’t that make this about equal to any other folding method?

  • Evilbelgian Sep 2, 2009 at 10:44 am  

    I found this a long time ago but lost the link. nice to stumble upon it now I can conveniantly fold shirts with ease.
