Organize Your Bedroom Closet for Next to Nothing

Whether it’s your New Year’s Resolution to become a more organized person or just something you want to do to help yourself save time on a daily basis, becoming organized doesn’t happen overnight, but with a little bit of effort, you too will be on the path to a less stress induced life. Staying organized saves not only time, but money because if you know what you have, you eliminate the risk of buying things you already own.  The hardest step is the first one.  You can do this by starting with organizing something small, such as your bedroom closet.  The smaller the project, the faster it will be for the gratification to follow.  Let’s begin. 


-   Purge.  Designate three boxes or sections in your bedroom for this project.  Label (either in your mind or on a piece of paper) one section the Keep pile, one for Giving Away and one labeled Throw It Away.  Just as it sounds, the Keep pile will consist of items going back into your closet such as your favorite pair of jeans and that tee shirt you wear on a weekly basis.  The Giving Away pile will be for shoes and pieces of clothing that are still in really good condition, but you just don’t seem to ever wear.  Giving Away covers the gamut of items that go to a local tax deductible charity, pieces that you’d like to sell on Ebay and recoup some of your monetary investment on or to a friend that may want it.  The Throw It Away pile is self exclamatory.  Items that have seen better days, like your old tank top you used to wear back in college that’s now so thin, you can see right thru it go into this pile.
