I don't know if I have anything useful to add that hasn't been mentioned.
Yes, I am one of those mousies that doesn't read pages and pages to the end.
Having said that, is there a tv in the room where you fold fabric?
If not and it isn't viable, how about music.
Music helps everything,...and a timer.
Set the timer for a segment of time so you can look forward to stopping.
Tell yourself that it is a guide, (not a punishment), and you can stop whenever you really want to.
Then when you get going, you won't want to stop.
You'll want to reach your goal.
I do agree, if you had a friend it makes work go by so much faster.
I am refolding all my folded fabrics, just bc it is reccommended to keep creases from setting in permanently.
I don't buy expensive boards etc. I put tinfoil over cardboard (got it from a book), and I use blue painters tape and attach it to the covered board so it doesn't move.
It goes a lot faster.
The timer will give you breaks so your muscles won't feel like you've had a blanket party.
(blanket party: where someone has a blanket thrown over them and gets a pounding )
Your doing it, brag on yourself.
It ain't all fun...but alas, it is necessary. I highly reccommend rewards of some kind
