Getting Organized Closet Raiders!

Just came from lunch with some folks that my wife and I know from an internet learning group we joined. While learning about privacy policies, links and headers,(my head is spinning) one of the young women shared a trick she and her sister use to keep their closets organized.

She shared that she and her sister have been very competitive since childhood. When it comes to clutter they decided they needed to create a positive use for that competitive nature. Here's what they do. Every month or two they get together at one or the others apartment. They have an agreement about how they can go about challenging the closet owner about how things are organized, or messy as the case may be, and what needs to be done to create or return to the agreed upon "organized" state. This also includes the classic, "if you can't tell me when you worn this or used this in the last year or so, it has to go." Here is where they added a twist. "Has to go" can also mean that the non closet owner can take the item! The young woman showed us a belt she said came from her sister's closet a couple of months previous!

Soooo, if you have a healthy competitive relationship with a friend or a relative, you may want to create an every other month get together to help declutter and organize each other's space or raid each other's closets as the case may be!

Remember, you can let your clutter drive you crazy or you can Get Crazy Organized!
