No wonder you're exhausted.

Never have I attempted anything and reached as high a new level of incompetence as trying to fold fitted sheets.

I'm not the only one

Whew……and I think I learned how to fold that, i better watch a couple hundred more times eh??

😀

She could do it pretty quickly, too. I'm a wad 'em up gal.

Stretch, ride a stationary bike whatever - exercise helps with stress - and we’re all exhausted

Usually I zone completely out while riding stationary bike at gym, but if the asshole next to me has Fox News playing I’ve found I am no longer capable of not saying, fucking idiot!

Ride mine at home - one of my best investments.
I hate gyms. Used to walk, run, swim and do loads of calisthenics and other exercises. Sometimes I just stretch everything.
Exercise keeps me sane

I'm on my second glass of Chardonnay, and wishing for a Jameson on the rocks.

How to Fold a Fitted Sheet (Step‑by‑Step, No Nonsense)
1. Hold the sheet inside‑out
Put your hands into two adjacent corners of the long side.

The sheet should be inside‑out and hanging vertically.

2. Tuck one corner into the other
Bring your right hand to your left hand.

Flip the right‑hand corner over the left‑hand corner so they nest together.

Now you’re holding two corners in one hand.

3. Find the next corner and repeat
With your free hand, grab the third corner (still inside‑out).

Bring it to the pair you’re holding and tuck it in the same way.

4. Add the fourth corner
Grab the last corner and fold it into the stack.

At this point, all four corners are nested together, and the sheet looks like a long, uneven rectangle.

5. Lay the sheet down
Place it on a flat surface (bed, table, countertop).

Smooth it into a clean rectangle — the elastic edges will form one side.

6. Fold into thirds lengthwise
Fold the long rectangle into thirds, smoothing as you go.

You should now have a long, neat strip.

7. Fold into thirds again (or quarters)
Fold the strip into a square or rectangle that matches your linen‑closet style.

Press it flat with your hands for a crisp finish.

Wad it up in a ball and shove it into a drawer. It's a lot faster and less frustrating.

You fold the sheet in hslf either way and fold two corners at each end. Then one pair of corners goes into the other. It is actually once you try once or twice.

neat person. My bottom line is how much difference is it going to make? Zero IMO. Since unrolling a folded sheet onto a bed and putting it on will be covered by a bedspread or comforter, why should I spend the time?

A folded sheet takes up less space than one rolled up in a circle, though.

I have a separate drawer for three of the four fitted sheets.
It has never once crossed my mind to learn how to fold them.
I keep the flat covers with the pillow cases and sparespread..

Much quicker to roll the fitted sheet into a ball 😂

I usually collapse after that work out.

I make up one side to the middle of bed; then walk around and make the other. If you make sure the head is tucked in well, it will keep your upper body weight from pull sheet loose.
It is getting the feather bed back in it's cover that gets me.

That way you never have to fold the sheets. Just wash and dry and put them right back on.

who grew up near a Fieldcrest mill learned to fold those sheets as soon as they came out and her arms were long enough. I was lucky.

… but I’m with you on the tired and old bit.

It is 5 am here in India and I have been trying to get back on track forever.
But this was somehow a good reminder to start today at last.

My floordrobe won’t fix itself and I want to get started on work rather than glumly stare all day at the news with dull loathing. And then I can do laundry etc.

Earth has too many people. More birth control dammit:

Voila! No sheets!
