In your closet, do all your hanging shirts face the same way? Or are they every which-way?
GASP! Surely you aren't suggesting that clothes can be hung facing different directions! Everything hangs facing to my left, shirts, coats, jackets, nightgowns and pajamas, sweaters, robes. All shoes have their toes pointed toward the wall. They are not allowed to peer out into the closet.lisab said:In your closet, do all your hanging shirts face the same way?

I'll have to check, but that might be the case in my closet too.zoobyshoe said:My shirts have a tendency to face left. On the extreme left side of the closet, however, they start facing right.

By crayons? How does that work?
Mine face the right since I'm left/right mixed dominance. I like to do strong, large motor skill functions with my left. (Throw, carry, etc). I grab the hanger with my left hand.
HayleySarg said:How... ?
I'm always amazed at the amount of clothing someone can collect. 100 pairs or 100 shoes?
Regardless. That's impressive.

Not that I know what a coset is.
DiracPool said:I just thought of something, I hang my shirts facing left so I can see the front of them while I'm "browsing" through them trying to pick one out for the day. However, my closet is in the right corner of my room, meaning that I approach it from the left side. I started thinking, what if the closet were in the left side of the room where I had to approach it from the right? Having my shirts facing left would then thwart my capacity to see the front of the shirt I would be wearing as I browsed through them. I think if this were the case, I probably would hang them to the right.
The conclusion being that whether you hang your shirts facing left or right is not a character or handedness trait, it a context-dependent action. Anybody? Please state how you hang you shirts along with a description of your room and in what direction you approach your closet from.
Decluttering your closet is important for several reasons. First, it can help reduce stress and anxiety by creating a more organized and visually appealing space. It can also save you time and energy in the long run by making it easier to find and access your belongings. Additionally, decluttering can help you identify items that you no longer need or use, allowing you to donate or sell them, and potentially even make some extra money.
The frequency of decluttering your closet will depend on your personal preferences and habits, as well as the size and contents of your closet. Some people may choose to declutter on a monthly or quarterly basis, while others may only do it once or twice a year. It's important to pay attention to the state of your closet and declutter as needed to maintain an organized space.
There is no one "right" way to declutter your closet, as it will depend on your personal style and needs. However, a common approach is to start by taking everything out of your closet and sorting items into categories (e.g. keep, donate, sell, trash). Then, go through each category and make decisions about what to keep and what to get rid of. As you put items back into your closet, consider organizing them by type or frequency of use.
This can be a difficult decision, but a good rule of thumb is to ask yourself if the item is still useful or brings you joy. If it's something you haven't used or worn in a long time, it may be time to let it go. You can also consider the condition of the item and if it's worth the space it takes up in your closet. It may also be helpful to set a limit for certain categories (e.g. 10 t-shirts, 5 pairs of jeans) to prevent yourself from holding onto too many similar items.
There are several options for getting rid of items from your closet. You can donate them to a local charity or secondhand store, sell them online or at a yard sale, or recycle or dispose of them if they are no longer usable. It's important to properly dispose of any items that may be harmful to the environment, such as electronics or chemicals. Remember, one person's trash may be another person's treasure, so consider giving away items to friends or family who may find them useful.
