One my biggest fans sent me a closet de-cluttering idea from flylady.net and I think it’s great.
Testimonial:Tip For Clearing the Closet
Hello Ladies!Recently I learned a great tip for painlessly cleaning out un-worn
clothing. Since we’re focusing on getting laundry this month I
thought I’d pass it along.After you finish your laundry and are hanging stuff in the closet, put
the hanger on the rod *backwards* (with the opening in the hanger
facing you rather than the wall like they usually go). That way
you’ll have a quick visual indicator to what clothes you’re actually
*wearing*. After several weeks it will be very clear what you’re
wearing and what you’re not. Those items that aren’t being worn can
be passed along to bless someone else.Thought this was a great tip! After doing it for a while I realized
that much of what was in my closet wasn’t being used, so I cleared it
out and have been slowly buying new, more in-style clothes instead.
Feels great!
This idea will work for your everyday clothes. Certain pieces of clothing like special occasion dresses and suits and seasonal items like coats obviously don’t apply. But I definitely think the poster is on to something with this tip.
