Chase-Lauther, Social Media and Community Relations Coordinator for CPH will present Organizer Wisdom: What Not to Do When Decluttering. The idea of living a simplified, uncluttered life with less stuff sounds attractive to many. The benefits of owning fewer possessions means there is less to clean, less debt, less to organize, less stress, more money, and more energy for other things. Here are some online tips: 1. Give away one item each day. 2. Fill one trash bag. 3. Try the Oprah Winfrey Closet Hanger Experiment. While this idea didn’t originate with Oprah, she was the one to help give it notoriety. To identify wardrobe pieces to clear out, hang all your clothes with the hangers in the reverse direction. After you wear an item, return it to the closet with the hanger facing the correct direction. After six months, you’ll have a clear picture of which clothes you can easily discard. 4. Take the 12-12-12 Challenge. A simple task of locating 12 items to throw away, 12 items to donate, and 12 items to be returned to their proper home can be a really fun and exciting way to quickly organize 36 things in your house.
