I watched a whole video on how to fold fitted sheets. After watching the video, I realized that this is how I will be tortured in hell. I ended up packing the stupid things into a see-through bag in which a large blanket used to live.
After hours spent organizing the linens closet, my watch is telling me it’s OK to end the workout now because I’m overdoing the intensity of my exercise. Cleaning is such a waste of time. Yes, I now have a perfectly organized linens closet. But what about everything else? By the time I clean other parts of the house, the linens closet will be a mess again.

I don’t fold those. Not worth it. I match up sets of sheets– a fitted and a flat of the same size– and bundle them together into a pillowcase. I don’t care if they get wrinkled, I just care that they are clean and I can find two that go together, when it’s time to change the beds. This means the kids also do not need my help to find sheets for their beds. Linen closet just has a row of stuffed pillowcases, and then a stack of ‘extra’ pillowcases for those of us with more than one pillow.

That’s smart. It’s definitely a much better approach than the exotic form of self-torture I saw in that video.
I come from a culture where fitted sheets don’t exist, so there’s no family wisdom passed down through generations regarding this object.

They’ve always been a pain in the arse. Only OCD people bother to fold them neatly.
Or at least, that’s my working hypothesis.

i do the exact same method as methylethyl. The set is bundled up in the matching pillowcase and put into the linen closet or the child’s closet the set belongs to.
My mother and nonna did attempt to teach me the “correct” method but it didn’t stick and mine is quicker. Who cares if sheets are wrinkled? I can’t think of ever even noticing that.
