1. Be Compassionate with Yourself
Giving things away and getting organized can have an emotional component that can be a stumbling block. And when a project feels too overwhelming to tackle, it can seem like you’ve failed. It’s hard not to tie our sense of success and worth to how ‘together’ our spaces appear. Getting organized is an ongoing tool to make things easier. Give yourself grace as you navigate the process; how organized you are isn’t a reflection of your value or capabilities.

2. Sort Smart
As you’re going through your clothes, ask: When was the last time I wore this? Was it within the past year? If not, why? Do I love this piece? Do I feel good wearing it?
3. Think About Your Space and Habits
True organization isn’t about everything being color-coordinated. It’s about creating systems that work for you.
You can split organizing your closet into sessions and decide what to accomplish in each. Are you choosing what to keep, donate, or toss? Are you grouping like items together?
4.Put Clothes Back with Purpose
There’s no one-size-fits-all way to arrange your clothes. The key to a system that works is thinking about your routines and the way you put together outfits. The clothes you wear most often should be the easiest to access.
