Although


everything may look nice and tidy on the outside, a peek behind your


closet or inside the drawers often reveals the truth. Don\\\\\\\'t put it off


anymore today\\\\\\\'s the day you\\\\\\\'re going to organize your closet!

But you may be thinking but I\\\\\\\'m o.k. I know where everything is \\\\\\\"Why should I organize my closet?\\\\\\\"

Having an organized closet makes it easier for you to find clothes


for the proper occasion. From clothes to shoes and other life


accessories, most days start in the closet.

For example how many


times did you experienced being late getting to work or any occasion


because of too much time spent looking for something to wear in your


disorganized closets, you remember that where those pair of shoes used


to be but now when you need then they\\\\\\\'re no where to be found. I could


still remember my mother telling me everyday early in the morning


\\\\\\\"Barry when do you plan to fix your closet that closet of yours?\\\\\\\"

Well I did get around to it and here are my easy tips on how you can start organize your closet:

First thing first, you need to remove everything inside your closet so that you can start cleaning your closet first.

It\\\\\\\'s


bound to have collected dust and grime over a period of time and you


really don\\\\\\\'t want to be putting your clothes back into a \\\\\\\"grimy\\\\\\\" closet.

Then


after cleaning your closets out make sure to sort out your clothes into


smaller groups. Groups like all the shoes together, casual clothes,


formal clothes together etc you get the idea.

Then when this is


done further break these groups down into smaller groups for example


seasonal, clothes you regularly wear, one\\\\\\\'s you don\\\\\\\'t wear often and


\\\\\\\"Yes\\\\\\\" even a pile of clothes that you\\\\\\\'ve bought and never worn. (We\\\\\\\'ve


all been in that situation it looked great in the shop but now \\\\\\\"Oh my


God what was I thinking?\\\\\\\")

I know it can be hard to put some of


your old favorites in a bag marker \\\\\\\"charity shop\\\\\\\" because some clothes


can have great memories that you link to them and this is where a


second party can come in very handy. They have an independent eye and


are able to give you some guidance or what you really should keep and


what goes.

Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies and can talk


ourselves around, and before you know the charity bags still empty and


you\\\\\\\'re putting everything back in your closet.

Then when you have


this done the items that you use or may need to refer to often, should


be placed back in your closet. All the other out of season clothes can


be put in one of those big vacuum bags and shrunk down and placed in


your hot press until they\\\\\\\'re needed again.

I could go into more


detail about how you can organize your closet now but I\\\\\\\'ll leave that


for another article all I\\\\\\\'ll say is find whatever system will work best


for you something where you can find anything you need in the minimum


amount of time.

Even doing these simple things will make a great


difference to your closet. You\\\\\\\'ll be surprised how you can get away


with a smaller amount of clothes in your closet. Don\\\\\\\'t forget though


that you need to periodically clear out items that are hopelessly old


or will never be used to keep the clutter down to minimum in future.

Believe


me it\\\\\\\'s a fulfillment in itself having an organized closet. You\\\\\\\'ll feel


better mentally knowing that at least one part of your life now is a


clutter free zone.
