Work smarter, not harder. When changing your sheets, begin by tossing your bed cover over to the opposite side, out of the way. Then place your clean fitted sheet and flat sheet on top of your bed, unfolded. Peel off the first corner of the sheets your changing, replace that same corner with the clean sheets, pocket first, then flat over the top.
