Break Time #21

Have you ever sat down and thought about how you actually perform the most mundane of tasks? I tried thinking about how to put my belt together once, and I couldn't figure it out. To my credit, it was one of those loop through the ring belts, so those can be tricky. Here is how to tie your shoelaces in steps, in case you forgot.
  1. Take one lace in each hand. Right hand will be Lace 1, and left hand will be Lace 2.
  2. Bring hands together, and loop lace 1 under lace 2.
  3. Pulls hands away from each other until the laces feel tight.
  4. Place right index finger on crisscrossed laces firmly, and stick out right thumb.
  5. Using left hand, loop lace 1 around right thumb and hold the loop created with pinched left index and thumb.
  6. Hold loop in place and take finger off crisscross.
  7. Grasp lace 2 with right hand and cross over the loop on the side closest to the toes.
  8. In the hole created, push lace through with thumb.
  9. Release the loop being held to grasp lace 2 coming through with left hand index and thumb.
  10. Hold the first loop with right hand fingers while you pull the new loop out. DO NOT pull all the way through.
  11. Make loops even in size.
  12. Pull the loops away from each other until it feels tight on your foot.
