11. Make your life easier.
You may wish to clean out your closet for various reasons. The most important is to simplify your life. Let's face it: most of us have too much stuff, and it gets in the way of what we want to do with our lives. Getting rid of the things you don't need is an essential part of simplifying your life so you can focus on what matters. You can donate your old items to charities, sell them for a modest profit, or recycle them in various ways.
We should make it a habit to undertake this type of cleansing on a more regular basis. So many of our clothes go unused when they could have been worn by someone else. When it comes to clothing, less is indeed more. There will be less clutter in your home, your closets will be easier to arrange, and you will have less laundry to do! Consider your wardrobe to be a capsule collection. Keep things that go well together and that you can easily mix and match to create fresh looks. When it comes to apparel, you'll be amazed at how little you need.
