I can’t tell you how relived I am that this task is done. His clothes were so overwhelming that it was invading places where clothing didn’t belong. I begged him to give in and go through it. I think he finally caved when a big pile of clothes on the floor was in his way and I told him it has to stay because there is absolutely no where else I can put them.
He left for a week to go visit his family and I took that time to take out all his clothes and categorized them on the floor. The numbers where too high. When he came home, he had a big visual. And, we went through them one by one. And he got rid of a lot and it feels fantastic. One thing we didn’t do was go through his summer box. Which we still need to do. But, for right now it’s fine. Everything fits into his closet. And, that’s all I ever wanted.
That was a great first step! We did tricks like using one closet as the main closet and a second one as back up clothes. Every couple of months items were donated out of the backup closet.
That’s a great idea!
