I was organizing a client’s office last week when I can across five briefcases. I asked him if he needed all five and he said no very quickly, one would be fine. I was curious to find out why he kept all five if he didn’t need or use them.

His response to me was ” I really don’t know I have just always had them.” I wasn’t surprised because this is a very common reason why people keep things they no longer need or want.

Just because you have always had a particular item does not mean you have to keep it.

Take the multiple clutter test. Check around your home and see how many multiple items that you don’t want, don’t need and haven’t used in years.

You will be surprised by what you find!

Not everyone has the luxury of extra closet space but if have the space use it to fit your needs.

My client is an empty nester and had a linen closet that was not being used in her hallway. She needed more room in her master closet so we decided that it would be perfect for winter clothes.

We gathered all her jackets, sweaters, gloves, hats, boots and scarves and made a list of the items we would need to keep her winter closet organized and accessible.

Boot boxes and Clear Storage Boxes from The Container Store not only look neat and organized but are important for keeping your winter clothes dust and bug free.

When you are getting organized this Spring rethink your space and be prepared for the seasons ahead.
