Closet Clear-Out System

by Natalia

The Four Sort Piles

Set up four piles and sort with intention

Set up four designated boxes, bags, or areas on your floor and label them clearly. Work through your closet one piece at a time, and place every item into one of these piles.

  1. 1. Keep

    Items that match your self-reflection answers, fit perfectly, and are worn frequently.

  2. 2. Sell

    High-quality or branded items in excellent condition that no longer fit your lifestyle or preferences.

  3. 3. Donate

    Good quality items that don’t match your goals but can find a great second home.

  4. 4. Trash / Recycle

    Items with permanent stains, tears, heavy piling, or significant wear.
