How to Organize Your Closet

How to organize your closet based on how you get ready.

To organize any closet, the first step is to understand what is in the closet. Make sure everything in the closet belongs in the closet. Take anything out that you do not want to stay in the closet. This includes any clothes you come across that you no longer want to keep. Set them aside for now and focus on the space of your closet.

Begin to consider how you want to group your clothing. When you get dressed, do you think of the color you want to wear? Do you think of the type of shirt you want to wear whether it's a sweater or a short sleeves shirt? Do you decide what shoes you want to wear before you choose the clothes? That is how you should organize your closet. Organize by the way you get dressed.

If you get dressed by color, begin to group all the colors in your closet. Organize them in whatever way makes you happiest, with your favorite colors first. If you get dressed by the type of clothing, begin to group all types of clothing that you have; crop top, short sleeve, long sleeve, sweater, jacket, coat, etc. Place the groups in whatever order makes sense to you. If you get dressed by choosing your shoes, begin to find an appropriate place to display them as the important step that they are. You can display them by color or type or whatever makes sense to you. If you need to go get shelving, do it. This is an important part of your process and it needs to be allowed space.

Now that you have everything grouped and in it's place take a few days and ensure that your morning flow has become easier or more enjoyable. Since you have taken the first step, you will be able to make tweaks to further streamline your morning process.
