More for the ladies: if you need to do a serious declutter, Google the Kon Mari method. The girl herself sounds super silly but the basics of her idea are sound and they work. It feels great. Moving again helped motivate us to lose a ton of belongings, but keeping our clothing in her storage style has made my life better. I used cheap plastic bins (with the lids stored elsewhere) and the clothing all on open shelves (except what actually needs to be hung like dresses), folded and in the various sized bins (cheap at Big Lots). You can see everything and nothing is on top of anything. Great for kids’ stuff too. Ignore her PCD silliness. Her plan is good.
Great for garages, too. I actually came up with the same idea all by my lonely self and am using it to disorganize my garage. Use clear, open containers, no containers on top of each other, use shelves for separation (wire shelves for visibility) everything visible and easy to pull out and put back in. So far it’s working great.
I thought the Kon Mari method was more about how to organize
