Hello!
So, here is something I've done recently to simplify my life...
I organized my bedroom closet! So simple, but it has really lifted my spirits.
Though in the last year I've given away a tremendous amount of clothing and reduced by 75% the amount of closet space I was consuming, my closet still felt cluttered. At this point, I don't want to get rid of anything else. But the problem was that everything was a huge, chaotic mess.
One problem was that clothing I only use part of the year was taking up room in seasons when I couldn't use it. As we are now well into summer, I took the opportunity to collect all the winter clothing and put it in one location, out of the way. That thinned the rest of the closet and freed up more space.
I also gathered together things I need to hold onto, but don't need frequently, e.g., formal attire. Those items too are now out of my way.
It has felt so liberating to have a de-cluttered, more organized closet! If I get time, I would like to organize it more. But for the time being, just getting out of the way out of season and occasionally used items has helped tremendously.
I feel like I've expanded my closet space simply by organizing the existing space better. That same reality happens all over our homes. We sometimes think we need a certain square footage and/or rented storage space to hold all our stuff. But in truth, we often can make due with less through a combination of being realistic about what we actually use and need, and organizing our existing space more wisely.
I hope this helps! Have a great day.
