It’s Spring and that means Spring cleaning for many of us.  I don’t know what it is about the warm weather that makes some of us want to reorganize and clean out dark closets.  However, if you are not one of these people, cleaning out a closet may be a task you have been avoiding for a long time… years possibly.  If the thought of going thru and getting rid of things in your closet is more than you can handle, start simple. 

Don’t worry about getting rid of things at first.  Simply start by gathering all of your pants in one place, then all your shirts, shorts, jackets… you get the idea.  You can go further by separating your pants by length, color, or both. The shirts as well; long sleeve, short sleeve, tank tops, etc.   Once you have done this, it will be easy to see how much you have of each thing.  You may realize you have more pair of jeans (t-shirts, capri pants, or tank tops) then you originally remembered.  If that is the case, ask yourself if you need all of them.  Be realistic.  One person does not need 32 pair of jeans!  We’ll talk more about the second step in the next blog.

Try the first step of separating and categorizing for starters.  See how far you get.
