I’m trying to go through my clothes and get rid of things I don’t ever wear.
For things hanging in the closet, I started with hanging all the hangers backwards and as I hang up my clothes from the laundry, I put them hanging the right way. Then about once or twice a year I look to see if I’ve worn the item. If it’s situational (formal dress, suit, etc), I leave it alone. The rest goes in a basket designated for this purpose. When the basket gets full, I go through it, and if for some reason I still want to hold onto it, I might give it another chance, otherwise I donate it.
I just saw an idea of designating clothes “on the bench” so I’m going to try and figure something out for that.
I was putting away laundry and trying to go through my pants in the dresser and thinking of a way I could designate what I’ve worn. What I’m going to try is put all the pants inside out and the next time I put clothes away, I’ll put them right side out, then when I purge I’ll know which ones I wore.
