| How to Draw a Self Portrait Posted: 26 Apr 2020 05:00 PM PDT Drawing a self portrait is an excellent way to learn about shading, sketching, and proportions. Learning to draw a realistic portrait of the human face can be a difficult task even for advanced artists, but there's no better way to develop your artistic ability and grow in your trade. Whether you've been drawing for years or you're just starting out, if you follow a few basic tips and techniques, you'll be sketching a realistic portrait of yourself in no time. [Edit]Setting up Your Workspace - Set up a mirror where it's easy to see. Place it where you can move your head back and forth as little as possible while you draw. A rectangular mirror is preferable, but a circular mirror may be used as well.[1]
- Using a mirror allows you to see what you're drawing in 3-D, and allows you to adjust your light source as you draw.
- Angle the mirror based upon the profile you want to draw. Choose a comfortable pose that you can maintain for a sustained amount of time, as you'll be using this pose throughout your drawing. Keep your eyes on the mirror roughly 80% of the time as you draw.
- Because you're drawing what you see in the mirror, you should spend more time looking in the mirror than actually drawing.[2]
- Use a photograph in place of a mirror for easier reference. Stand against a plain background that makes your features pop out, such as a solid-colored wall. If you can't find a solid-colored wall, use a solid-colored drop-cloth to hang in the background. Adjust the lighting to cast shadows you desire.
- Use top-lighting or lighting from above to find more shadows for your photograph.
- Using a photograph gives you a 2-D reference that is easier to use than a mirror. The photo stays in one position, so you can reference the same image many times without adjusting your drawing.
- Drawing from a mirror is more difficult and can help advanced artists improve their skill.[3]
- Keep your drawing surface as vertical as possible. Invest in a cheap table easel that has a clip built into it. Use the clip to hold your drawing in a near-vertical position while you sketch.
- The self portrait can become distorted more easily on a flat surface.[4]
[Edit]Developing Your Proportions - Draw a circle in the center of the page. To draw a well-formed circle, trace around the edges of a roll of duct tap or a cup. Keep the lines light so you can go back and tweak the shape of the edges later on.
- Most head shapes are closer to an oval than a circle, so you can draw an oval if you'd prefer.
- Draw a vertical line down the center of the circle. Then, draw a horizontal line across the center circle. The horizontal line will cross in the middle of the vertical line you just drew.
- Your lines don't have to perfect, as you will be erasing them later on. Just get them as close to center as possible.[5]
- Measure half the diameter of the circle with a ruler. Place the edge of the ruler on the bottom of the circle and transfer the measurement you just took. Draw a line underneath the circle where the measurement stops. For a female chin, draw the line slightly higher. Make the line roughly half the length of the circle.
- This line will be your reference for where to draw your chin.
- If you don't have a ruler, you can use your pencil. Place your finger on the pencil at the point of the measurement. Use your finger and the edge of the pencil as a reference for the measurement.
- Sketch 4 lines to connect the circle to the chin line. Place your pencil on the outside of the circle at the end of the horizontal line. Draw a line down, about halfway toward the chin line, and angled slightly inward. Then, place your pencil on the outside edge of the chin line on the same side as the line you just drew. Draw a line up and angled outward to connect it to the line you just drew.
- Repeat these steps on the other side to complete the jawline.
- If your jaw is sharper and more defined, use steeper angles to connect the chin line. If your jaw is more rounded, use softer lines. Refer to the mirror for reference on how sharp to make the angles.
- Don't forget to keep your lines light so you can flesh out the detail later on.[6]
- Re-draw the horizontal line at the halfway point of your current drawing. Erase the first horizontal line you drew. Measure the halfway point of the current drawing and draw a new horizontal line all the way across the outline.
- This will be your eye line. Feel free to label it for easy reference when you start drawing the eyes. Just make sure you label it lightly so you can go back and erase it.
- Draw a line at the halfway point between the eye line and the chin line. Then, draw another line halfway between the line you just drew and the chin line. You will now have 3 horizontal lines drawn across your outline.
- The first line you drew will be the nose line, and the second line will be the lip line. For easy reference later, lightly label these lines with pencil so you can erase them later on.
- Sketch a horizontal line at the center point between the eye line and the crown. Then, draw another horizontal line between the line you just drew and the middle eye line. You will now have a total of 5 horizontal lines.
- These 2 lines will both be hair lines. Label them for easy reference later on.
[Edit]Sketching the Main Features - Make small, vertical dashes to split the eye line into 5 equal sections. Use a ruler to measure the entire width of the head and divide that number by 5. For instance, if the widest part of the head is long, divide that by 5 to get . Then, use your ruler to split the horizontal eye line into 5 sections that are each.
- You will end up with 4 equally spaced tick marks that divide the eye line into 5 equal sections.[7]
- Draw the left eye between the 1st and 2nd dashes on the horizontal eye line. Start the left edge of the left eye on the 1st tick mark from the left, and make the right edge of the left eye touch the 2nd tick mark from the left. Draw the far right edge of the right eye touching the 1st dash from the right, with the inner corner of the right eye touching the 2nd dash from the right.
- This will ensure your eyes are evenly spaced and identical in size.
- Fill in the eyebrows directly above the eyes. If the portrait ends up looking sad, your eyebrows may be spaced too close together. Try spacing them further apart for a happier demeanor.[8]
- Sketch a vertical line from the inner corner of the left eye to the nose line. Do the same for the right eye. Sketch the nose inside of these boundary lines, using the vertical line in the middle as reference to keep the nose as symmetrical as possible.
- For a medium-length nose, draw it above the nose line.
- For a longer nose, draw it beneath the nose line.
- For a shorter nose, draw it between the eye and nose line.
- Keep the boundary lines light so you can go back and erase them later.
- Make a vertical line from the middle of each eye down to the lip line. Draw the lips in between these boundary lines, with the bottom lip resting on the lip line. Use the middle vertical line as reference to draw the lips as symmetrically as possible.
- If your mouth is an average size, sketch it well inside the boundary lines. Adjust as necessary for larger or smaller mouths.
- Make sure to draw the boundary lines lightly so you can go back and erase them later.[9]
- Add the hairline in between the 2 separate lines labeled "hair". For a female face, draw a smooth line around the forehead. Try to avoid adding any angles. For a male face, sketch a well-defined, angular hairline.[10] Then, fill in the rest of the hair, using the hairline you just drew as reference.
- Fill in the hairline with thick lines, adding shadows and highlighting as you work.[11]
[Edit]Filling in the Details - Erase all unnecessary lines from the portrait. Use light pressure when erasing the lines so you don't rip the paper. This includes the original vertical line, all of the horizontal lines, and the boundary lines you used for creating your proportions.
- If you labeled your eye, lip, nose, and hair lines for easier reference, erase those as well.
- Fill in the ears, areas in the eyes, lips, and nose. Draw your ears roughly between the eye and nose line, then sketch out your neck. Go back and add any details you may have left out when sketching the outline of the main features.
- Fill in things like lip wrinkles, shadows under the eyes, and shading on the bridge of the nose.
- Spend time adding wrinkles and sunspots to the skin, jewelry such as earrings or nose rings, details in the eyebrows, and any other minute tweaks you want to add. The more details you add to the portrait, the more realistic it will appear.
- Shape the jaw and cheeks based upon the angle of the face. If your jawline is more defined, add sharp angles to the jaw area. If it is more rounded, erase any sharp angles and smooth them out. Do the same to the cheekbones, adding or removing definition as necessary.
- To make yourself look younger, make the jawline narrower so your bones look less developed.[12]
- Add shading to your portrait to make it more realistic. Use a smudging tool or your finger to add shadows as you go. As you shade, take into account any glares in the hair or eyes.
- Make sure to add shadowing to the neck area. This will keep it from looking like it's floating in thin air.[13]
- Hang your portrait in a frame that compliments your work. Use a frame that goes well with the medium you used to draw your portrait. If you used a charcoal pencil, compliment your drawing by hanging it in a simple black frame. If you used colored pencils or soft color of any sort, try a wooden frame.
- Drawing a self-portrait is hard work, and framing it is an excellent way to display your accomplishment.[14]
- Use a 4B charcoal pencil to help you gradually build up shadows as you draw.[15]
- Try to keep dark colors in the hair and eyes so that they pop more.
[Edit]Warnings - Be careful not to rip the paper when you erase the markings.
[Edit]Things You'll Need - Mirror, preferably rectangular
- Pencil, preferably charcoal
- Sturdy, clean drawing paper (preferably newsprint)
- Kneaded eraser, optional
- Photograph of yourself, optional
- Drop-cloth, optional

| How to Play Monopoly Posted: 26 Apr 2020 09:00 AM PDT Monopoly is a classic board game loved by people of all ages, but it can be pretty tough to learn to play! The rules are complicated, and many families have their own variations that aren't listed in the official rulebook. Learning how to set up the board, play by the official rules, and end the game at a reasonable time will help you learn to love Monopoly! [Edit]Setting Up the Game - Find 2 to 8 players. Monopoly can be played with as few as 2 people up to 8 players at most. Each number of players brings its own advantages and drawbacks so it is important to know them before you decide on how many people are going to play.[1]
 - 2-person games are not recommended due to the nature and mechanics of the game. At the start of the game, both players will be evenly matched and find the game to last a long time. Once someone gets lucky or makes a great move, they usually win the game without a chance for their opponent to catch up. Do not let this deter you though if you only have two available players. It can still be very fun.
- 3-5 person games are great because of their balance between fairness and enjoyment. Games can last over two hours if players are evenly matched and when someone appears to be winning, there's a lot of room for the losing players to stay in the game.
- 6-8 person games are fun but can have a few problems. As only one person can win the game, more players means there will be more losers. Furthermore, there is a longer wait between turns, yet this isn't too much of an issue as Monopoly gives you a handful of options you can do when it's not your turn, until everyone wants to do an action at once.
- Monopoly is intended to be played by people aged 8 or over. Younger players may not enjoy the game if they do not like to lose as the game requires some strategy to win. It is recommended to help new and young players by offering tips and opting for a more co-operative playstyle.
- Choose a banker. This player is in charge of all the money, property, houses, and hotels still belonging to the bank. The banker can still play the game, but they should make sure their own money is separate from the bank's.[2]
If it is easier, the banker can place the box where most players can reach, allowing people to help themselves to money, houses and properties, providing that they only do this when they're allowed to. - Set up the board. Unfold the Monopoly board and lay it on a flat surface. Make sure each player has enough space to keep their money and property deeds in front of them. You should also lay out the Chance and Community Chest cards on the board. They are marked in the center.
- Pick a game piece. Each player gets a game piece to move around the board. The game comes with a large selection, but you can also play with any small object. It does not matter what piece you choose as they all serve the same purpose.[3]
- Give each player $1500. Before the game starts, the banker gives everybody their starting money. It should add up to $1500. Most players like to keep their lined up in front of them, but you can store your money any way you want as long as it is in front of you. Players may also exchange money for different bills of the same value. For example, giving $500 to the bank in exchange for 5 $100s.
- US Version | UK Version
- 2 $500s | 2 $500s
- 2 $100s | 4 $100s
- 2 $50s | 1 $50
- 6 $20s | 1 $20
- 5 $10s | 2 $10s
- 5 $5s | 1 $5
- 5 $1s | 5 $1s
- Roll the dice to pick the first player. Whoever rolls the highest number goes first, and play then continues clockwise around the board. You can use two dice or one, whichever you prefer. A quicker alternative is for the youngest or newest player to go first. This skips the initial dice rolling and gives them a small advantage. After the first turn, play goes to the player on the left in a clockwise fashion.[4]
[Edit]Playing the Game - Roll the dice and move your game piece. Each player rolls the dice and moves their game piece the same number of spaces. If you roll doubles, you get to move again after resolving the space you have landed on. [5]
- Look at the space you landed on. Monopoly has many different kinds of spaces. Most of them are properties that you can buy or pay rent on, but some of them require you to draw a card from one of two decks, collect money, or even go to jail.
- Buy an unowned property when you land on it. If you are the first one to land on a spot with a colored stripe across the top, a railroad, or a utility, you may buy the property for the amount printed on the board. The banker in turn gives the player the title deed for that property. Most players recommend buying every property you can as if you don't, the other players have a chance to get it for cheaper.[6]
- Auction any unsold property. If you land on an unowned property but choose not to buy it, then the property is auctioned and awarded to the highest bidder. This rule is part of the official game but many people omit it at home.[7]
- Whenever a player who lands on an unowned property opts not to buy it, the banker takes over and auctions it off immediately. The player who initially declined to buy the property at the printed price can still participate in the auction. Bids start at $1 and stop when no one wants to increase their bid. If absolutely no one wants the property, it returns to the bank and the game resumes.
- Collect rent. If you land on someone else's property, you must pay them the rent printed on the title deed card for that property (unless they have mortgaged the property). Rents vary according to the price of the property, whether or not a player has a complete color set (monopoly) and how many buildings have been built there. [8]
- Buy all the properties in a colored group to get a monopoly. If you own all the properties in a colored group, you have a monopoly! This is one of the main goals of the game--you can bankrupt other players easily if you have a monopoly. Players with a monopoly get to charge double rent for their property on unimproved sites of that color set. The reason rent is so high when you have a monopoly is based on real life business as no competitors means no need to fight for the lower price.[9]
- Build houses on your monopoly. If you have a monopoly, you can start to build houses on any of those properties to charge more rent. You can find the building prices on your property deed. You can build up to four houses on each property of your monopoly. [10]
- Buildings raise the rent on your property significantly. For example, the first property on the board, Mediterranean Avenue, rents for $2 without any buildings. When you build four houses, you can charge $160 to each player who lands on it.
- You have to build evenly--you can't build two houses on one property in your monopoly and none on the others. If you buy one building for a property, you can't put a second one on that property until you have bought a house for every property in your monopoly.
- Build a hotel after you've built four houses. The most lucrative buildings you can add to your properties are hotels. After you've built four houses on each property, you can buy a hotel from the bank and replace the houses with them. A hotel is roughly equivalent to having five houses yet the maximum number of houses on a site is four. However, it is sometimes better to leave the four houses on each property instead of building the hotel if you wish to create a house shortage for other players. [11]
- Collect $200 when you pass GO. Every time a player lands on or passes over the corner space marked "GO," they earn a $200 salary. This is a great way to add a little cash to your reserves![12]
- According to the official rules, you only get $200 for passing or landing on the GO square, but many people allow you to collect more whenever you land right on GO. This house rule should be avoided as it can prolong the game in the bad sense of the word.
- Take a Chance or Community Chest card. If you land on a spot marked "Chance" or "Community Chest," take the top card off of the corresponding deck of the space that you landed on. These cards have effects that can cause you to earn or lose money, move you across the track or even send you to jail. There's also the infamous "get out of jail free" card. When you're done reading the card, return it to the bottom of the corresponding deck.[13]
- Go to jail. Going to jail prevents you from moving around the board until you're free. But you still can collect rent, buy houses, participate in auctions, and trade with other players. There are three possible ways to go to jail:[14]
- Landing on the space marked "Go to Jail" is the most common way to end in jail. The player goes diagonally across the board to the jail space without passing GO, and their turn ends immediately.
- If you pick a Chance or Community Chest card that reads this, your turn ends immediately and you must go directly to the space marked "In jail". If you pass GO on the way to jail, you don't get to collect your $200. Put your game piece inside the jail cell when you are sent to jail.
- Rolling three consecutive doubles on the same turn also sends you to jail immediately. Place your token into the jail cell as soon as the third double is rolled.
- If you just land on the jail space by an ordinary dice roll, you can place your token on the "Just Visiting" section of the square. You are not subject to any restrictions and can take your next turn as usual.
- You can get out of jail by paying $50 bail, using a Get Out of Jail Free card, or rolling doubles on your next turn. If you succeed in rolling a double to get out of jail, you move forward the given number of spaces but do not take another turn. You must leave jail on your third turn and immediately pay $50 if you fail to roll doubles on that turn.
- Make deals with other players. Trading with other players is a key part of the strategy of any Monopoly game. This is usually how you obtain a monopoly to build houses and hotels. Many players also have house rules that allow them to grant rent immunity to another player, lend money to another player, or borrow from the bank without mortgaging property.[15]
- Do not include any house rules during your first game as including them can impact the enjoyment of the game and extend how long the game goes on for which isn't a good thing.
[Edit]Ending the Game - Set a time limit to determine the winner (optional). If you want a faster game, try setting a timer for 1 or 2 hours. When the timer goes off, each player counts their total amount of money, the printed prices of all their unmortgaged properties, half the prices of all their mortgaged properties, and the printed prices of all houses and hotels. The richest player wins the game!
- If you do decide to play using a time limit, players' strategies can differ slightly. In a normal game of monopoly, the winner of the game could have a bad start and be very poor early on. You may want to declare the winner not to be the richest player but the one who made the best decisions, decided by your group democratically.
- Do NOT award money for landing on Free Parking. Many people use a variation of the rules to add more money to the game. Instead of putting tax money or other payments back in the bank, they put it in the center of the board and give it to anyone who lands on Free Parking. While it's fun to win a pile of money, it actually makes the game go on for much longer! A game of Monopoly should only take about two hours.[16]
- Mortgage property. If you can't pay the rent when you land on a property, you can mortgage your property. You can also choose to mortgage a property to buy other properties, houses, or hotels. When a property is mortgaged, no rent can be collected. To unmortgage it, you must pay 10% interest when you pay it off. If you have to pay a decimal, always round it up.[17]
- Mortgages have their rewards and their consequences. You should only mortgage a property to avoid bankruptcy or to make a quick boost of money for buying more properties and trading. You can also sell your mortgaged properties to other players, causing them to pay the bank if they want to collect rent on that property. The 10% interest is far better than the 50% loss from selling buildings.
- Go bankrupt. If you owe more money than you and your assets can afford, you're declared bankrupt and are out of the game. In official rules, your money and properties are given to the player who caused you to become bankrupt after selling all the buildings first. However, this can cause a winning player to win even more. It is recommended that when a player becomes bankrupt, all of their property is auctioned off as this makes the game a bit more balanced for the remaining players.[18]
[Edit]Monopoly Strategies - Do not include any house rules if it is your first time playing. They usually cause more harm than good.
- Do not be afraid to forfeit the game if you are losing with little hope of coming back. You will have more time to plan to win your next game.
- Most versions of monopoly change the artwork yet play the same. Make sure the version you are playing is using official rules. Do not include any advanced features such as speed die.
- It may be beneficial to learn about strategies before playing but do not let them confuse you or spoil your entertainment.
- Monopoly games come with a quick guide to the rules. Keep it out when you play to help you remember them!
- If you are still confused with how to play the game, discuss the rules with a friend or watch someone play the game to understand how it works.
- If the game is taking longer than you anticipated, feel free to take a break and come back to the game at a later date.
- If you forget a rule or make a mistake, do not worry about it and continue playing with the forgotten rule in place.
- All of the games pieces can be replicated with pen and paper if you manage to lose or damage one of them.

| How to Declutter Your Drawers Posted: 26 Apr 2020 01:00 AM PDT While drawers can help you store the various odds and ends within your home, they can become a catch-all over time. Although it may seem like a daunting task, you can declutter your junk, kitchen, and dresser drawers with a bit of sorting, discarding, and reorganization. If you find that you have a lot of garments or trinkets that you don't need, consider donating, selling, or tossing the items. With a regular cleaning schedule in place, you may end up making your household more streamlined and organized! [Edit]Organizing a Junk Drawer - Remove everything from the drawer. Find a clean, flat surface, like a countertop or table, and move the items from your junk drawer over there. Don't worry about sorting your belongings right away—instead, focus on clearing everything out of the junk drawer so you can begin making the best use of your space.[1]
- Ideally, you want to clean out your junk drawers every 6 months.
- Disinfect the drawer with an all-purpose cleaner. Take a clean paper towel or cloth and spritz it with the cleaner. With the wet paper towel, wipe along the sides, edges, and bottom of the junk drawer. Follow the packaging instructions to see how long the surface needs to air out before items can be placed back into the drawer.[2]
- You can also use soap and water in lieu of a disinfectant wipe.[3]
- If you're working with a wooden drawer, pour a peanut-sized amount of cedar oil onto a clean rag and rub it into the material.
- Toss out anything from the drawer that you don't need. Examine each item individually, evaluating if you really need it or not. If you can't decide, try asking yourself if the item makes you happy, or if it's simply taking up space in your home. If the item doesn't serve an active, positive purpose for you, toss it out or set it aside for donation.[4]
- For instance, a flashlight could be a useful item to keep on hand, while a bag of old batteries wouldn't be as practical.
- Toss out anything that's unusable, like dried white-out or inkless pens.
- Sort the items in your drawer by practicality. Create small piles on your countertop, table, or another flat surface. Examine each pile to decide which items are used most often, as these can go in the front of the drawer. On the other hand, think about which items don't get a lot of use on a weekly or monthly basis, as these could go in the back.[5]
- For example, place your calculator in the front of your drawer and a bottle of superglue in the back.
- Invest in drawer dividers if you want a long-term solution. Use a measuring tape to determine the length and width of your drawer. With these measurements, look online to find a set of dividers that will fit in your specific drawer. Follow the packaging instructions so you can install the divider or organizer correctly.[6]
- You can buy many drawer dividers for under $25.
- For instance, you could place binder clips in 1 compartment, sticky notes in another, and thumbtacks in a separate partition.
- If you're organizing a utility drawer, you could keep screwdrivers in 1 section, a tape measure in another, and batteries in another partition.
- Use small cups or containers to store small odds and ends. Place a variety of small, rectangular- and square-shaped bins inside your drawer. Experiment with the placement of the items until you find a layout that works well with the contents of your junk drawer.[7]
- For instance, you could use a variety of square-shaped trays to hold decorative tape, pens, paper clips, business cards, and other trinkets.
- Arrange your most-used items in the front of the drawer. Place your moderately-used items in the middle of the drawer, depending on how often you use them. If you only use certain items on occasion, arrange them in the back of the drawer instead.[8]
- For example, place your tape in the front of the drawer, while a bag of labels or twist ties might go towards the back.
[Edit]Straightening a Kitchen Drawer - Toss out any old, broken, or unused items from your kitchen drawers. Pull out a trash bag as you examine the contents of your kitchen drawer. Look over each utensil, tool, or other cooking supply to see if it's broken, moldy, unused, or otherwise past its prime. Throw away these old, unwanted items so you can create more space for more useful utensils and kitchenware.[9]
- If you have unused items that are in mint condition, consider donating them to a secondhand shop or another charity group.
- Fill your drawers with items that you use most often. Think about the meals you prepare and other tasks that you normally do while in the kitchen. If you use certain utensils and tools more than others, group those items together in a single drawer. Place the items that you don't use as much in a separate drawer or cabinet.[10]
- For instance, if you prepare a lot of meals, place your measuring cups and cutting knives in the same drawer.
- If you spend a lot of time preparing tea, coffee, or other beverages, put your juicer and tea strainer in the same area.
- Use drawer dividers to separate your utensils and tools. Take a ruler and measuring tape and figure out the basic dimensions of your kitchen drawers. Look online or in a home goods store to find a storage space that matches those dimensions. Slide or place the divider into your drawer, then use the different partitions to separate and organize your kitchen supplies.[11]
- For instance, you could place your measuring spoons in 1 section of the drawer, then use another section for your knives and tongs. You could also dedicate a section to your can opener, corkscrew, or meat thermometer.
- Stack your knives in a drawer instead of using a knife block. Dedicate 1 side or portion of your drawer to your knife collection, as a knife block can take up a lot of valuable counter space. For an extra layer of organization, try sorting the knives by type, like cleavers and serrated blades.[12]
- You can also dedicate a separate drawer for your utensils.
[Edit]Cleaning Your Dresser Drawers - Remove and sort your clothing 1 drawer at a time. Take all of the clothing out of a dresser drawer and set it on a flat surface, like a bedspread or carpet. Separate your clothes by item type, then remove anything you no longer want or need.[13]
- Thrift and consignment stores are great places to send unwanted clothing. You can also look into local charities near you that collect unwanted clothing.
- Wipe out each drawer with a dust cloth. Take a clean cloth and wipe down the edges, sides, and bottoms of the drawers. Leave your drawers open for a few minutes so they can air out completely.[14]
- If your drawers are especially dirty, clean them out with soap and water.[15]
- Dedicate certain drawers to specific items of clothing. Don't mix your socks, tops, and shorts in 1 area! Instead, designate 1 drawer each for your undergarments, tops, bottoms, pajamas, and so forth.[16]
- For instance, if your dresser has 3 drawers, dedicate the top section to undergarments and socks, the middle section to shirts and tops, and bottom section to pants and bottoms.
- Fold your clothes so they fit in the dresser drawer. Try to make your clothing items look as uniform and compact as possible before placing them in the dresser. Tuck in the sleeves of the fabric so your garments look square-shaped and uniform. Position these shirts upright in the drawer so that they're side-by-side with one another. This way, you can access and view them easily later on.[17]
- If you want to take your folding to the next level, try sorting your clothing by color in the drawer!
- Roll and tie up any loose cords that you find and decide to keep in your junk drawers.[18]
