Every morning, I used to spend at least 10 minutes in front of my closet pondering what to wear. When I looked at my routine, I realized two things were making it hard for me to decide what to wear.
- I had too many pieces of clothing in my closet I didn't wear
- I couldn't remember what I had worn last
So the first thing I did was make a trip to Goodwill. By getting rid of what I didn't wear, it was much easier to see and decide from what I had.
Then I came up with a trick to address #2. I organize my closet in order of what I wore last. After I wear or wash something, I put it in the back of my closet or on the bottom of the stack. Now in the morning all I have to do is pick from the front or the top of the stack.
Now, there are some exceptions. Sometimes I may need something fancier than usual or more casual but for the most part I can just pick one of the thing near the front and I am good to go.
Without having to make a decision on what to wear, I save a good 10 minutes every morning! Plus, I've donated my un-used clothes and saved money from the tax write off.
