My physical space plays a huge part on my mental space.. if one is cluttered, the other probably is too.
One way I clear space every other season or so is by going thru my wardrobe . We're good for piling up stuff deep in some crevice , making the task of cleaning out a closet daunting, but "it begins with one drawer, one closet, one shelf at a time," as Sandra Lane, author and professional organizer, said from a TEDx stage.
These are Sandra Lane’s tips on how to cut clutter:
make time to make decisions
work in short blocks of time (ex. 2 to 4 hrs/day)
ask self "do I really need it?" when shopping
consider One In, One Out rule (ex. if buying a new hoodie, get rid of an old hoodie)
remember someone somewhere could make use of what you have and aren't using (DONATE!!)

Instead of scrolling on TikTok for 2 hrs today, go grab those dresses you've been saying for years you'll eventually fit into & start making a bag to go to your local charity org that accepts clothing donations .
