Limit your hangers
I thought I’d pass along a little tip that helped me keep my closet from getting overcrowded. This is no longer an issue since I’ve minimized my wardrobe and cut back drastically on clothes shopping. But back in the days when I shopped for fun, I often faced an overcrowded closet when I came home with new purchases.
So I implemented this policy, and it worked like a charm.
If you thin your wardrobe down to a manageable level, so that you can easily access what you have and there’s plenty of ease getting your hanging clothes in and out, then stop buying hangers. If you set that restriction, you’ll be forced to let go of an item if you buy something new and you don’t have any empty hangers.
It’s simple and easy. And it works!
