Organizing Part 1: Get Real with your Needs



You have to get real with what your needs are before properly organizing any space, especially your personal clothing closet because it's such an extension of you. This is time to get out a sheet of paper and actually list or bubble graph (my fave) answers to each of the 4 questions that follow.

What works for you? What are the areas you know you got it going on, both in life and in the area you are organizing? What about this space makes you smile?


What doesn't work for you? What are you consistently misplacing? Is there any thing you never have a place for? Is there anything that you can't do because of the clutter? How do the disorganized spaces make you feel? If people visit,
do you sketch out about what they might see?


What is super crucial to you? What makes you? What moves you? What do you need to have ready to go at any given time?


Why are you doing this? Make a list or graph or collage or something like that of all the blessed lightness you will enjoy when your space is organized. Hang it in the space until the project is done (or keep it up if its pretty).
Now you will have real intention behind your organizing project & it will be fun & enlightening, & long term functional. YAY!!!!
