1. Start with a Full Closet Clean-Out
The first step to organizing your closet is to take everything out. Yes—everything! This allows you to see exactly what you own. Once your closet is empty, sort your items into categories: keep, donate, sell, or discard. Be honest about what you actually wear and what just takes up space.
2. Use the “One-Year Rule”
If you haven’t worn something in the past year, it’s probably time to let it go. This rule is especially helpful when you’re unsure about certain items. Exceptions can be made for special occasions, but for everyday wear, this method works wonders in reducing clutter.
