Today, we are going to work in the master closet for 15 minutes. Have a basket or bag handy to put items to give away. Since we are near the season change, look closely at your winter clothes. Are there things there that you did not wear this winter or last winter? Put it in your Give Away bag. Do you have clothes that do not fit? Pull them out for the Give Away bag. I do this monthly, and I still get rid of things each month. Of course, I get rid of the most stuff at the season change. Do the same thing in your children’s closet. You can ask your husband to spend five minutes handing you things for your Give Away bag. I bagged up two black bags to give away this month. If you keep your closet thinned down, it is much easier to put away laundry. We all have too many clothes in our homes. Let’s work at bringing that amount down.
Zone Mission: Declutter your master closet and work with your children and husband on their closets, too.
