Essential Skills for Manaing ADD - Part 2 by Jennifer Koretsky

1. Donate or throw out all clothes that I haven't worn in the past year

2. Designate the right side of the closet for work clothes, and the left side for casual clothes

3. Hang belts, scarves, and other accessory items in the middle of the closet

4. Arrange shoes neatly on the closet floor

5. Remove all non-clothing items from the closet

Taking the time to break down the task into 3 or more steps makes the act of cleaning out a closest nothing more than a simple system to follow. It relieves pressure, and often prevents that feeling of being overwhelmed by the mess.

And don't forget to take your planning a step further and actually plan the time to plan! If you know that you have a two hour window on Saturday to clean your closet, turn that time span into 15 minutes of planning, and 1 hour and 45 minutes of cleaning. Chances are you won't even miss that 15 minutes you took to plan because you'll be so organized in your cleaning approach that you won't waste any time when you're in the process!
