Break it down
Start your decluttering journey by breaking it down into manageable tasks. Instead of tackling the whole wardrobe at once, start with one category at a time. Maybe start with your summer clothes or your work clothes. Breaking the task down makes it less daunting and more achievable.
Embrace the 'one in, one out' rule
Every time you buy a new item of clothing, take an existing item out of your wardrobe. This method ensures that you never accumulate more than you need and encourages mindful shopping.
Folding techniques
Use a folding technique that allows you to see all your clothes at once when you open your drawers or wardrobe. Seeing everything at a glance can help prevent forgetting items and reduce the likelihood of unnecessary purchases.
Seasonal rotation
Consider rotating your wardrobe according to the seasons. Not only will this free up space, but it will also ensure that you only see what you can wear at the current time of year, making it easier to choose outfits on a daily basis.
Recycle, donate, or sell
Don't just discard the clothes that didn't make the cut. Consider whether they might be useful to someone else. Recycle pre-loved clothes at local recycling facilities, donate gently used garments to charities, or sell valuable items on second-hand platforms.
Reward yourself
Decluttering is a task that requires effort and commitment. Don't forget to reward yourself at the end of each successful session. You got this.
