The "Ian Knot"[0] (which, I just discovered, was invented by the author of that site) is quite possibly the coolest and fastest way to tie your shoes.

After I stumbled upon this site years ago, the Ian knot is how I tie my shoes every time.

The hardest part about this knot is making sure that somebody is watching while you do it. Every time I tie my shoes alone, I feel an upwelling of regret, as if there has been an opportunity lost.

There is a special t-shirt folding method with this same property.

Now what about folding fitted sheets? That’s guru-level.

Given a clockwise counting of corners, with the "outside" facing away from you (so you are looking at / reaching "into" the sheets from the elastic side):

    grab the inside of 2, invert, shove into the inside of 1.
    do the same for 3 into 4.
    now you have a sheet folded in half, with two pairs of corners together.
    grab the inside of 1+2, invert, shove into the inside of 3+4.
    now it's folded to a quarter, and all the messy stuff is together.
    lay out flat, straighten messy stuff a bit, so you can do the next step more easily.
    grab the whole thing, chuck into the closet.
