I recently met someone who is a big fan of these and showed me his

I recently started storing my seemingle endless supply of extensions
like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaEv9wm6gy0
They hang on a hook, and are always ready to go and tangleproof.

That's a cool method for storing and using cords, but it seems like a
bit of work. *Maybe with practice it would become second-nature.

Yes and yes. It really doesn't take any extra time to do, once you get
the hang of it. You can make the loops as big as you want, also, so it
doesn't have to take a lot of loops. I have a 150' 12/3 cord done up
like this, and it hangs fine. You can also double it up to hang - it's
damn near impossible to tangle.

The big advantage to this, vs coiling, is that it doesn't put twist
into the cord. I know about "figure 8" coiling, and doing one loop in
back and one loop in front, but I could never do those consistently
well. Also with this methid, you can unloop just as much as you need,
and have some of each end available.

Anyway, I recommend that you give it a try. The CordPro gadget looks
pretty good, too, but kinda pricey.

Now, after watching that video, youtube suggested watching the one
about two-scond teeshirt folding. THAT, I have been doing for a couple
of years. It's really cool, and really takes a couple of seconds to
get your shirts folded neatly, with the front showing - so you don't
have to guess whether it has a pocket or a grease stain or something
nasty printed on it that you wouldn't want to wear to a customer.
Either way, that's a video worth watching, and a cool way to fold a
shirt.
