How I decluttered my closet
Everyone seems to want to know the secret to decluttering my closet, so here’s my behemoth overview.
- How I decided to take action one day
- How did you get rid of all your sentimental items?
- How did I cut down my wardrobe by more than 50%?
- How am I going to fit everything I own into 3 suitcases and 2 carry-ons?
All very good questions.
How I decided to take action one day
It sounds so simple, it may be stupid.
I just decided to.
It’s the same thing as deciding to start taking care of your finances, start reducing the amount of chemicals you use every day, to quit smoking (I never started), or to lose that stubborn 15 pounds.
I looked around my home, and asked myself something along these lines:
- Do I feel stressed out by all this stuff?
- Do I feel bogged down by everything I own, to the point of feeling sluggish?
- Do I own multiples of the same thing – like a Jacob sweater in 4 different solid colours?
- Do I want a cleaner, more zen sort of quality of life?
- Do I need all this to live?
And that’s when I decided it was time for a change.
- I had filled up a good 4 closets packed tight with clothes and purses.
- I had drawers full of jewellery I never really loved or wore.
- I could never find anything.
It also didn’t hurt that I was heavily in debt at that time, and I wanted to sell everything I had just to get out of debt.
How I decided to pare down on everything
It was pretty easy for me.
I set a goal to eliminate half of my wardrobe so that it would fit into ONE closet, rather than the 2-3 closets I was taking up.
