how to tie your shoelace right and fast!
you want the knot to be horizontal across the shoe or perpendicular to the shoe tongue.  it matters what order you tie the first overhand knot in and what direction the lose ends hang.  to get the correct one tie a right over left over hand knot then hang onto the strings and the left hand finger goes bottom to top so the lose end is nearest you then the right hand finger goes top to bottom so lose end is closest to the toe then finish the knot off.  you'll tie it fast and strong knot.  The strong knot is essentially a square knot vs granny knot!
