And I can't for the life of me figure out why. OK, so it only takes two seconds. You know what also takes two seconds? Just shoving your clothes into a drawer and not caring if they're a little wrinkled. Admittedly, my privilege might be showing here, but I'm going to assume you are also a young West-Coast urbanite who works on the Internet and only leaves the house by force. If not, OK, hang up your work clothes -- they'll look a lot nicer than if you folded them, and it won't take nearly as many hours out of your life as you'll spend trying to master this voodoo. But for your yoga pants and T-shirts and shit? Adopting an attitude of joyful, shameless apathy takes .0001 seconds. Go ahead, try it right now.

The only mountain I want anything to do with.
If you really need help with this, though, I have a couple of real-world life hacks for you, for this situation and this situation only. You ready for some street hacks, motherfuckers?
1) Wear a low-cut shirt. I'm not sure how or why this works, but it magically disguises everything. Bad hair day? Scrunch that shit up into a bun, slam on a low-cut shirt. No time for makeup? Sunglasses, low-cut shirt. I guarantee you no one is noticing how wrinkled that shirt is. The yoga pants work mysteriously similarly. Disclaimer: This does not seem to work for men, and they will express their resentment with repeated requests for your phone number, presumably so they can send you useless life hacks to discourage this strategy's use. Do not be swayed.

2) If you have a dryer in your home, you can just throw your clothes in there for 10 minutes while you do something else. Take a shower, jerk off, summon the Dark Lord Vuzulu -- maybe all three, whatever, I don't know your life. When you take your clothes out, they'll be unwrinkled and all warm and cozy. Best of all, you don't have to learn any fucking magic tricks, and you can get back to what you really need to do: apologize to the Dark Lord. Come on, have some shame.
