Blog overview. After being a professional organizer for years, I’ve worked with people on every area of the house, whether it be your closet, kitchen, garage, or paperwork. I would love to discuss any other topics with you. Organizing CU. Helping busy moms get organized.

After being a professional organizer for years, I’ve worked with people on every area of the house, whether it be your closet, kitchen, garage, or paperwork.

I’ve written blog posts and have the Organizing Confidence Unlimited podcast about all of the common areas that everyone struggles with. Many of these topics, such as paperwork, are covered in depth as a series as it can be addressed to the majority of people with only a few modifications.

Other topics, such as kitchen and closet, are shorter and more generic as each person will need the final result to be personalized in order to maintain it over time.

Take a look and see if anything strikes a chord with you:

4 Steps for an Organized Closet

Four steps for an organized closet. Four simple steps makes it seem like it should be a very easy task, but I know it can feel overwhelming. If you don’t have the time or energy for a full closet purge, try doing just steps 1-3 now and then keeping a donation box in your closet. Organizing CU. Helping busy moms get organized.

I’ve already shared the simplest way to organize your paperwork in 4 easy steps, but now it’s time to tackle another big project with only 4 simple steps: your closet.

Organizing your closet for a clutter-free home can save time, reduce stress, and make getting dressed easier.

Step 1: Throw out all broken and busted clothing. If there is anything that has a broken zipper, missing button, or rip in it, throw it out. If you haven’t fixed it by now, you are not going to.

Step 2: Get rid of everything that does not fit right now. Don’t save anything for “just in case.”

Step 3: Toss all the uncomfortable shoes. If you can’t imagine wearing them for an entire day, then it’s time to get rid of them.

Step 4: Do you love it? Do you feel good in it? Scale everything from 1-10 (10 being something you can’t live without and would replace asap; 5 is meh). Everything under a 7 goes.

Four simple steps makes it seem like it should be a very easy task, but I know it can feel overwhelming. If you don’t have the time or energy for a full closet purge, try doing just steps 1-3 now and then keeping a donation box in your closet. When you put on a shirt that is less than a 7 (such as you can never seem to match with pants or it just doesn’t fit right any longer), into the box it goes. Once it gets full, it heads over to Goodwill.

You will see how much easier it is to stay organized and get dressed when you’re not constantly looking for something you love that fits you!

Even a partial closet purge creates momentum — small, consistent decluttering habits can transform your wardrobe and simplify your mornings.
