The 2021 DeClutter Project Part 5 | Step-By-Step Closet Organization - 638

Tools & Assistance

Organizing a closet can be a daunting task, but with the right tools and assistance, it becomes manageable. Chalene Johnson shares her strategy of hiring help to expedite the process, emphasizing the importance of removing everything from the closet before sorting 1. She suggests considering the potential value of items, recommending selling them on platforms like Poshmark or eBay instead of just donating 2. This approach not only declutters but can also generate funds for personal projects or charitable donations.

   

Clarity & Decisions

Achieving clarity in closet organization requires decisive action. Chalene advises evaluating the current layout and making necessary adjustments to enhance simplicity and accessibility 3. She stresses the importance of being ruthless with items that are worn out, advocating for their disposal rather than donation.

Nobody wants your old underwear. Nobody wants your holy socks. I know you think they do. They don't.

--- Chalene Johnson

By clearly labeling donation piles and enlisting a friend's honest opinion, the process becomes more efficient and effective.
