Do you ever have trouble letting go of clothing items from your closet because you don’t know the last time you wore an item or think you “might” want to wear it again? If so, start using the “hanger trick” today and the next time it comes time to do a closet purge it’ll be much easier to let go.
All you have to do is go into your closet and turn all your hangers around so they are on your closet rod backwards. Then, once you have this starting point you will be able to use the “hanger trick” on a daily basis.
Each time you get dressed in the morning you choose an item of clothing from your closet leaving an empty hanger. Then, this is where it gets fun. Instead of now hanging that empty hanger back on the closet rod in the backwards position (like all your hangers should be now), this hanger should now be placed in the normal (forward) hanging position. The next time you start clearing out your closet, you’ll have a clear view of items that you haven’t worn recently. They will all still be hanging backwards on their hangers! You will have a clear visual of which items are ready to be purged from your closet.
You may just be amazed by how often you rewear the same clothing items over and over, while ignoring all the others taking up space in your closet!
