Preparation and Setting Goals
Before diving into the organization, take a moment to set your goals. What do you want to achieve with your closet space? Is it more functional use of space, easier access to favorites, or simply a cleaner appearance? Clearly defining your goals will help you stay focused and motivated.
- Gather Supplies: You'll need storage bins, hangers, labels, bags for donations, and a timer.
- Set the Timer: Prepare to work for exactly 60 minutes to ensure focus and efficiency.
Declutter and Sort
Start by emptying your closet. Yes, everything. This includes clothes, shoes, and accessories. As you remove items, quickly sort them into three piles: Keep, Donate, and Trash.
- Keep: Only place items back if they fit well and are in good condition.
- Donate: Items in good condition that you no longer use.
- Trash: Worn out or damaged items.
Reorganize and Maximize Space
Now that you have your 'Keep' pile, it's time to organize. Consider arranging clothes by category or color to make everything easily visible and accessible.
- Use Matching Hangers: For visual cohesiveness and to save space.
- Drawer Dividers: Great for organizing small accessories.
- Shelf Bins: Perfect for storing seasonal items like scarves and gloves.
Add Personal Touches and Maintenance
Personalize your closet with small touches that reflect your style. Incorporate a small scented sachet, include a mirror, or add a stylish basket or box to house your belts or scarves.
- Regular Maintenance: Dedicate 5 minutes a week to putting items back in their place.
- Seasonal Audit: Reassess items every few months to keep only what you love and need.
