5 Fresh Tips to help you Organize Your Closet:
Set time in your calendar and the day of to set your mind at ease. When you have a time set it helps you to curb other distractions, and you can mentality prepare. The day of organizing, light a candle, meditate, open a window, play some soothing music, journal about the upcoming session, or whatever helps to calm your mind.
Pull everything out from the closet, and I mean everything. You will be surprised what is hiding in the back of the closet! That sweater you've been looking for? The blanket that has collected dust? Yep, all of it. The closet should be clear of everything. This will help you to imagine the set-up for your space with open eyes. You can’t see the possibilities with the chaos in the way.
Measure your space for items you may need to purchase. This will prevent returns and over spending. Also play around with bins and containers you want to repurpose. A clean slate invites creativity to the mind. Let your imagination run wild.
Start editing your items. Determine what you want to keep, donate, or discard. With the items you want to keep, make sure like-items are organized together, as this will help you to see what you have once its back in the closet.
Put items back into the closet. If it is clothes or towels, I recommend color coordinating. Other items, I would store based on how often I use them (frequently used items should be displayed in the front) and on lower shelves. Rotate seasonal clothing if needed. Keep like items together to keep track of what you have.
