This is my closet. The shelves in my closet hold my baseball t-shirts and my sweaters. I live in Minnesota, so these have always moved around for the season, and as I dug through the piles to get the item I wanted, the piles would get messy. And it was all disorganized. There was no rhyme or reason--not size, not color, not usage occasion, nothing. See?
Yes, it's small; but think of this: married couples share a closet twice this size, so I'm not really that hindered by closet space. But it's still messy! I'm not using any sweaters presently, and hopefully won't be using any sweaters for a couple of months. Don't even look at the pile of t-shirts. Good luck finding the one you're looking for.
So tonight I took the time to take EVERYTHING off the shelves. (While I was at it, I should've gone in the attic and checked out the situations there. The attic access is conveniently in the master bedroom closet. If you call it the master bedroom, which you should, because it's the largest.) I re-folded them all and sorted them. The things I'm least likely to wear (due to size or color--I have nothing matching it at present) are on the top shelf that I cannot reach without a chair, stool, ladder, etc.
The sweater clothes are even somewhat sorted by color! I will now be able to go through my piles of T-shirts on game day and pick the one I feel like wearing without digging through the ones that are a little too tight to feel comfortable wearing. And come winter, the "at home" sweaters are on the middle shelf to the left, and I'll be able to find the work sweaters I want to wear (provided I'm gainfully employed. Then again, if I'm not, the closet it is a moot point, because I'll be living in a cardboard box).
