You spent your entire Saturday organizing, donating, and rearranging your closet and now the trick is to keep it that way. If you don’t change the way you put things away all of your hard work can be undone in as little as one week of use. If you were diligent during your organizing you found a home for all of your belongings, in the next couple of weeks you will find out if the system you implemented will work for you.
To break or start a new habit takes time and commitment and most times it isn’t a fun experience. Make yourself take the extra 10 minutes at the beginning to put your shoes back on the shoe rack, hang your belts up on the newly installed hooks, and hang your work pants in the right place. You need to give yourself time to get used to the new system – give it a chance! As the days go by, you will become more and more familiar with the new routine and it will take less and less time to keep it up. By the end of the first month you will have wondered why you didn’t do this long ago.
As you purchase new clothing or other things that need to find a home in your closet take the extra time to find a new home for it right away. You would be amazed how quickly all of your hard work can go to the wayside by having a homeless item introduced. So find a home right away or even better, find something in your closet that you don’t use or love anymore and swap it out with the new purchase.
Enjoy your newly organized closet and take the extra steps to keep it that way, it is worth it.
