It turns out that you are probably folding your t-shirts and socks all wrong. Marie Kondo, an organization celebrity in Japan, shows us the folding methods that earned her a spot on TIME's 2015 "Top 100 Influential People" list.
You can learn more about her tidying methods from her book, "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing."

no!
I’ll have to show this to my woman...after she finishes making me my sammich.
Ridiculous! I watched the video and there was NOTHING special or redeeming about the way she folded either the socks or the T-shirt. Back to the drawing board.
Let me guess. Kondo is a Japanese term for:
Show silly American folding a bunch of wadded clothes on a mostly occupied table, then show gloriously pale, svelte Japanese lady fold one thing on an otherwise empty folding table.
Fold socks? Do you iron them too? What kind of psycho talk is this?
I don’t think I’ve ever in my entire life folded a sock or t-shirt.
I don’t plan to start now.
Well now. That video or method was about as useless as teats on a boar hog. I could’ve folded three or four tee shirts in the time it took her to fold one.
Frankly, once I beat my socks against the bedpost every morning they’re ready to go again, day after day...after day...
Her method takes too long.
Japanese shirts are small enough to just lay them flat with rooms for 30 pair of socks beside them.
RE: Her method takes too long.
She gave me an idea I can present to the Robotics class of one college my nephew goes to...
Design a robot that folds t-shirts and socks using the Kondo method...
Also, you don't get to see the logo on a t-shirt if you fold it like that. That's exactly how I ended up wearing my Team Bacon t-shirt to that CAIR rally...
Yes I have 45 minutes to fold one load of laundry - no prob.
The Army taught me how to roll mine and that has worked for me for the better part of 30 years.
Wrong. I learned this method a few years ago and have been doing it this way ever since:

My husband folds just as well, faster without a table.
I’m hopeless for ever folding anything crisply and uniformly. Years ago I saw an infomercial for a board used to fold t-shirts perfectly. I was tempted.
“The Army taught me how to roll mine and that has worked for me for the better part of 30 years.”
Yes.
The Navy taught my son, and he taught me.
Far quicker, neater, and stows better in a sea bag or aboard ship.
Impressive.
Gimme back my 2 minutes! Bastard.
