Seasonal Organization

ClosetClosetOrganization may be done in one big project at first, but then you have to maintain it.
Then the seasons come and you have to figure out what to do with all your "summer stuff" from lounge
chairs to clothing.

Four seasonal organizational tips for you:

1. First, really look it over. Do you really wear it? If not, donate. Is it torn or worn looking?
Toss it. Is it "vintage?" Perhaps if it's in good enough shape you can put it in a vintage resale shop. 
If you don't use it toss, donate or sell it!

2. When you pack up your seasonal clothing, pack as if you know you're taking a 7-10 day trip
(IE: Packing up summer, pack summer. Packing up Winter, pack for winter). Then IF you get notice that
you ARE going on a trip (or decide to), you're ready to go and you don't have to pull out  everything you
just packed up! The only thing you'll need are undergarments & bathroom stuff. Don't forget to include
seasonal shoes in packing and packing up!

3. Do you have a garage? Don't forget about the space you have on the ceiling! You can get ceiling
lifts that can be pulled up or down (click here) OR you can buy one that is stationary and use a ladder
to get what you need.

4. When you organize seasonally, take the time to dust off the shelves in your closet, clean your
light fixtures, wipe down your doors & sweep floors. I do, twice yearly and I'm amazed at how much "dust"
accumulates!
