Day one is all about clothes. And this might be the funniest category to go through. Because I'm pretty sure I've been keeping clothes that I haven't wear for more than three years. Every time I look at those pieces, I'm like, Well, I might need it some time, but I never do. So this time, I'll be putting all of those pieces away, I'll be giving most of them to charity, because they are not useful for me, but they might be to someone else. And I highly encourage you to do the same.
Because in the process of decluttering, your home, you can help someone else. During the process of getting rid of all these things. I asked myself this question constantly. Do I really love this? If the answer is no, I will probably give it away. And you should ask yourself this question to the question.
Is there any chance I'll be wearing this for the next 10 years, we'll keep you a little bit off there. We all know the excuse of I might need it someday. And it is just an excuse because most of us have our wardrobes filled up with clothes that we don't wear. But still, we're always saying we don't have anything to wear. And I think it is interesting to introduce the concept of the Paradox of Choice. We all want a lot of things to choose from.
Because we think that the more choices we have, the better off we will be. But when we have so many things to choose, we sometimes experience paralysis, and then we stay paralyzed without really knowing which thing to pick. I usually decide which thing I will be wearing the next day. But when I forget, I get really annoyed in the morning because I feel like I have nothing to wear and then I end up complaining and saying that I'll have to go shopping because I don't have enough clothes. When the reality is is taken me So much time to choose my clothes because I have a lot and I actually should reduce the size of my wardrobe. And by doing it by reducing the number of pieces of clothes I own, I'll be saving my willpower, my energy and my money.
So the goal is to get rid of five pieces of clothes you own, but I'm pretty sure I will go a little bit beyond that limits. I really want to make my life simpler and having so many clothes to choose from only makes me more tired and without any energy. This is why some people decide to wear the same clothes every day. So they don't waste any willpower making that choice. My goal is not to wear the same thing every day but still I know exactly that I have a lot of things that I can get rid of. A good tip is to get rid of most of your coat hangers because if you don't have them, you will have to get rid of some things.
If you have too many drawers. commit yourself to only feeling a certain number. So as you can see, I managed to get rid of a bunch of things. There were so many pieces I haven't worn for more than two years. I actually forget I have them. Why?
Because I don't even like them. And so overall, I'm really happy with how my closet is now. So please go try it in your own closet and see the benefits that it can have in your own life.
