And one way to cut down the number of decisions you have to make in the morning is to cut down on the amount of clothes you have to decide from.
Those of you who know how I work know that I'm not trying to get you down to just 30 pieces of clothing. Well, not today. Or ever... if you don't want to do that. But I can all but guarantee you will find great relief and freedom in owning less than what you currently have.
More times than not, you can look at an item and know right away that it can leave your home. Sometimes you need some questions to think through. Having these questions in the back of your mind or literally in front of you can help you make the decision.Below are 10 questions to ask to help you decide what clothes to keep or get out of the house altogether. These questions are asked in two ways: what to KEEP and what to LET GO OF. A different perspective can make all the difference.
