Fold As You Go

Fold your clothes as soon as they come out of the dryer, while your other loads are washing and drying. Having a rhythm will help speed up the entire process and allow you to finish more quickly. Folding your laundry faster will also reduce the time that it has to get wrinkled.
Sort While Folding
-
After you fold a piece of clothing, place it in a pile with other similar items such as all shirts together and all pants together. You can sort further by giving each person their own basket of sorted clothing. This can reduce time spent folding laundry and make it easier to know what goes where.

Use a Folding Table
-
A folding table allows you to fold your clothes efficiently and without any discomfort. Choose a table with adequate space for all of your clothing and baskets.
Distract Yourself
-
Folding clothes can be a boring and tedious task. Distract yourself by putting a television or radio into the room you're using to fold clothes. This will make the time go by a lot faster and make folding laundry an enjoyable process.
Folding Order

Always fold wrinkle-prone clothing first so it has less time to wrinkle. Leave items like socks and thick sweaters to be folded last.
