How To Fold a T-Shirt In Two Seconds

      "You gotta know when to hold-em, know when to fold-em." - Some country singer

Wow!!! Who would have thought it was possible that everything you have been taught about folding shirts is a lie! Yes, thats right, a lie. That is assuming you have not seen this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=An0mFZ3enhM . Now I know most of you could care less about efficiency in folding shirts, but it's a very interesting topic to me for the following 3 reasons:

• Doing anything better than 99% of the population is awesome(especially something that seems simple)
• I am a manager for a sports team and this will help me improve my effectiveness
• I can now impress my mom by keeping all of my shirts folded (and do it in half the time)

As you can see the benefits are numerous, and best of all it only took about 15 minutes to learn and 20 minutes to master. Learn how to fold a shirt in two seconds by following the these steps:

1. Watch the video I have linked at least two times prior to touching a shirt.
2. Take a shirt and go through the steps slowly. Repeat.
3. Go get a stopwatch and set the timer for 5 minutes. During this time practice correct form and don't worry about speed, however, the end fold should be neat.
4. Now you're ready for the big-time! Practice folding as quickly as you can for the next 5 minutes(use the stopwatch you lazy sonofab!!!!!) You should be averaging about 2.5 to 3 seconds per shirt by now.
5. You now have to work on top-end speed. Go as fast as you can for the next 5 minutes (repetitions should be less than 2.2 seconds each time) and don't worry too much about how neat the fold is-- it's purely about speed. I was able to get a shirt done in 1.87 seconds during this phase.
6. Now go back to making the fold a bit neater and keep the speed up--I hit a 1.89 perfect folded t-shirt about 1 minute into this phase of my folding education. 

Finally, don't brag too much to your friends and family about how cool you are with your now superhuman folding skills. Believe it or not, they may not care about this as much as you or me, but don't fret--the benefits of acquiring this skill transcend praise from your peers. Get a shirt and get to work. Happy Folding!
