Most of the time, people’s reason for still having a messy closet is “it’s such a big project, I don’t even know where to start”. Girl, I get you!

So when I hear that reasoning, my first thought is: “then let’s make it NOT so big of a project!”

But how can we stop procrastinating & think of some ways to make the project more manageable?

Here are 4 tips to go from OVERWHELMED to FINISHED:

1) Set a timer for an amount of time that is manageable, but can also produce results.

            For me, this is usually 15-20 minutes. You can do a quick look over your whole closet during that time frame, or focus in on a specific section. If I’m just needing to thin out a few things, I’ll look over the whole closet. If I’m really needing a deep, thorough cleanout, I’ll take it 1 section at a time during the time frame.

2) Do only one section at a time.

            I will often split the project into subjects, and do 1 subject per day. For example: jeans drawer on Monday, sweater drawer Tuesday, blouses Wednesday, etc.

3) Spread out the closet cleanout over a few days or weekends.

            There’s nothing telling you that you have to do the whole project in one day! Split it up over a few days or maybe 2 weekends in order to keep yourself on task & not overwhelmed by the size of the project.

4) Have someone help you!

            This could be a family member, or ME! I’d love to come help you clean out & organize your closet. Head to the contact page of my website & fill out the contact form so that we can set up a date/time for your session. Sometimes you just need an outside person to help you finish the project in an organized & efficient manner (and provide a little encouragement along the way). 🙂
