Learning the fine art of throwing things away isn't easy if you've grown accustomed to saving everything for a rainy day that never arrives.
Most closets contain one overhead shelf and one pole for hanging clothes.
While that's not much space, you can make the most of it by organizing your closet more effectively. Limit the items to what you use and wear frequently. Think about what you wear throughout your work week and what you wear most often during weekends. You can also purchase corner shelves to help conserve space. Wire baskets are another wise purchase.
