I am a big neat freak and I do not hold on to anything, however my spouse hangs on to enough for both of us. He has clothes in his closet that have been in there since the 1990's with tags still on them! I read an article recently that says you should look at the closet and pull 3 things out immediately, then turn all your hangers backwards. When you wear something put it back up the forward. After 9 months, anything that is still hanging backwards should be pulled out. Do you think this plan will work?

I think it sounds like a reasonable test, give it a try and see if it works. For me I use just about everything year round but I do have some seasonal clothes too.

I chuck stuff out at random times and everyone in the house hates it. I know what is being used and what is not so when the time comes that something has to head out the door I take care of it.

Manny, I have been taking stuff, bagging it up and stuffing it in the basement for months. I am holding it for a few months then if it isn't asked for I will chuck it. I weeded out the closet the other day and turned all the hangers so we will see how it goes.
