Organizing Your Drawers

Cleaning out has been a great distraction right now and it feels so good to see a finished project! Purging drawers seemed like a great place to start because clothes seem to accumulate at rapid speed. Here are some Marie Kondo tips to get those drawers organized!

GETTING STARTED:

  • Set aside a chunk of time, put on your favorite tunes and a diffuser blend that will get you motivated like peppermint + lemon!

  • Set up 2 bins to put clothes in once you begin and label them as "keep" and "donate"

  • Marie Kondo recommends pulling out all of your clothing items and putting them in one place before you begin (if that isn't practical pick one category at a time)

  • Note: Pulling out everything you own at once is a powerful image to really see how much you have and compare similar items to determine what you truly love.

CLEANING OUT:

  • Go through each article of clothing (and actually touch each piece) to decide if it "sparks joy" - a funny way to clean out but touching an item truly does help make a decision about that piece.

  • If it is sentimental piece that you know longer wear or have a reason to save, acknowledge the joy it gave you at one point and donate it.

ORGANIZING DRAWERS:

  • Once you finish and it's time to put clothes back in your drawers, Marie Kondo recommends a file folding method that is a great way to see each item in the drawer: https://bit.ly/2J6ik7z

  • When hanging clothes back up, hang them by type (jackets, suits, dresses, etc) and then by length.

When you finish a clothing purge, you will find that getting dressed is so much easier because everything you own is something that sparks joy! Do you like to do a big purge or clean out little by little? Share your favorite clean out tips!
