so busy.

Have you ever been too busy to do origami?

I know. Me too. But now you can! For those people who want to fold paper but just can’t seem to fit it in their schedules. 

Cram the ancient, meditative Japanese art in between taking Sophie to piano, dropping off the dry cleaning, picking up your husband from work and then dropping him off at the car dealership so he can get his Toyota Camry that needed a new catalytic converter. Create beautiful swans, flowers, and morph balls in the tranquil three minutes you have between cooking a fried chicken from Thomas Keller’s Ad Hoc cookbook, feeding the baby, checking your email, and finishing that 500 page report that will save your company. You might only have 8 minutes to yourself each day, but goddammit, you will fold paper. And it will be as relaxing and enjoyable as the centuries-old Japanese practitioners intended.

    All I want to do is sit and make Morph Balls. I just can’t find the time.
