By simply organizing your bedroom closet,\u00a0you\u00a0can save time and put money in your pocket.<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t a catchy phrase for this like \u201cspring cleaning\u201d but try it. Put in the effort and you will be rewarded.<\/p>\n

\"Save<\/a><\/p>\n

Disorganization costs you time<\/h3>\n

A survey<\/a> conducted by\u00a0Apartment Guide revealed, \u201cthe average American wastes 55 minutes a day looking for things\u00a0around the house.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s about 6.4 hours a week and roughly 335 hours a year.\u201d What is your time worth? 6 hours is a lot of time to waste each week.<\/p>\n

Save time with organization<\/h3>\n

But it doesn\u2019t have\u00a0to be this way. By reorganizing your bedroom closet, you can stop spending\u00a0time searching for belongings and open up your day for more fun or relaxing activities. Here\u2019s how to\u00a0get started.<\/p>\n

Sort through each item in your closet<\/h3>\n

In order to get organized, first you have to clear out your closet. Sort through all of your clothes and\u00a0accessories to determine which pieces you rarely wear.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll probably have a dress or suit that can\u00a0only be worn for formal events and it\u2019s okay to keep special occasion garments such as these.<\/p>\n

Casual clothes that hardly ever leave the closet, however, shouldn\u2019t be in your closet anymore.<\/p>\n

Sell, donate or throw out unused clothes<\/h3>\n

Now that you have a clothes pile you no longer wish to keep, decide how you want to get rid of these\u00a0items.<\/p>\n

Clothes that are in good condition can be sold online or in garage sales, helping you make a\u00a0little extra money right in time for the holidays. You can also choose to donate these clothes.<\/p>\n

Store spring\/summer clothes\u00a0elsewhere<\/h3>\n

Hardly worn clothes are not the only wardrobe pieces you\u2019ll want to remove from the bedroom closet.<\/p>\n

Spring and summer items that only get worn during the warmer months should be moved\u00a0elsewhere too, helping you make room for bulkier sweaters and coats.<\/p>\n

To save space, consider\u00a0placing these items in shallow storage containers that can easily be slid underneath the bed.<\/p>\n

To save even more, consider using a vacuum-sealed bag for storing clothes. Less air in the bag means clothes are more compact in a smaller package.<\/p>\n

The pay off<\/h3>\n

You\u2019ll spend less time searching for the perfect outfit and more time sleeping or relaxing. A little\u00a0organization is all you need to make your wardrobe essentials accessible and easy to find.<\/p>\n
