    1. De-Shoe Your Closet<\/h2>\n

    There’s an old (and odd) saying about procrastination: Eat the frog<\/strong>. What it means is that you should get the hardest thing out of the way first and as soon as possible. That is why the first of our closet organizing ideas may also be the toughest: Get rid of some of your shoes.<\/p>\n

    You may enjoy having stacks upon stacks of shoes lined up in your closet. It’s your way of pretending you’re Kim Kardashian or Michael Jordan. But the thing is, those two people don’t need to worry about closet space! You, on the other hand, do. So be honest with yourself and go through your old shoes. Which ones do you wear? Which ones don’t you wear? If you still have some old pairs of shoes that you haven’t touched in months or years, get rid of them! If they are in good shape, you can give them to the Goodwill, otherwise, throw them in the trash.<\/p>\n

    This is a good declutter step because shoes require a lot of space, so you only want to keep the ones you either use or simply really like.<\/p>\n

    2. Buy a Clothing Rack<\/h2>\n

    A clothing rack is something that can look quite stylish and that you can keep outside of your closet. By storing some of your more frequently used closed on a clothing rack, you will free up more storage space inside your closet.<\/p>\n

    You can stick a clothing rack right outside your bathroom or just in any corner of your room. For guys, the kinds of clothes that go well on clothing racks are plain button-down shirts (like the kind you would wear to work) and for women pants, jeans or dresses. The key is to free up more primary closet space by making a second portable storage area (a clothing rack) in a different location.<\/p>\n
