I'm preparing for a big consignment event at our church called Kids Kloset so I've been culling things from the closets to consign.
Cleaning a closet CAN be a big job, which prevents some people from ever tackling the task.
We'll break it down into manageable tasks and only spend 15 minutes a day on each task! I am a hoarder, keeping items of clothing because they were expensive or are still in good shape, not because I wear them, they still fit or they are currently in style...hence a cluttered closet. My plan will help you get more use from the items in your closet, you'll find you actually have MORE clothes than you thought you did and you'll spend less money in the future on clothes if you maintain this organizational style!
Today's step will only take you a few minutes...
Your first step is to grab some bags, boxes and containers of assorted sizes to assist you in this project.
Label these containers with the following DONATE, CONSIGNMENT, REPAIR, MOVE (as in move to another room, belongs to another person, etc.) and NOT SURE (as in not sure if I'll keep it)...
and any others you may think you'll need.
Now, adjust your thinking. You are going to clean out your closet and get rid of items that are no longer useful. You are also going to be able to stash some items aside in the event you are unsure (so your decision is reversible for a period of time).
You are going to begin tomorrow, working in one direction (you get to choose clockwise or counter clockwise, top or bottom. Think about where you'll start. You may want to work on the least difficult area first!
