CLEANING,  ORGANIZING

Declutter Tips of the Day | Closet | Edit and Purge Regularly

One of the things that I enjoy doing is organizing.  Today I am going to share one tip that I do to help keep my house organized. 

 

EDIT AND PURGE REGULARLY

Regularly go through yours and other family members’ closet.  For me, I don’t have a scheduled day and time when I do this but I just randomly do it when I feel like it.  If you are the type of person that likes a a schedule, you can do this once a month.

Look for items (clothes, socks, underwear, purses, shoes, etc) that do not fit your anymore or does not make you feel confident in it. Think of when was the last time you wore or use it – if it is more than 8 months – purge it.  

Make a quick and ruthless decision to do only any of these 3 things:

  • Keep
  • Donate – friends/family or donate to organizations
  • Trash 

There should be nothing in between or a maybe trash or maybe donate.  Make a definite decision.

Both of donate and trash should go in a black trash bag, labeled appropriately.  Then take it out of your house on the same day. 

That’s it!  Then do it again in a month.

I hope you find this post helpful.  Until then. XOXO
