Have you tried the "turn all your clothes hangers around so they hang backwards, then get rid of anything that's still wrong ways around after X time" trick?
Yeah, me, too. I just ended up with wonky hangers and an attachment to the stuff I never wore because I kept checking the hangers and seeing it.
I always think if I put some of the loose items into storage containers, I will have less clutter. But somehow, the more I rearrange stuff, the more space it occupies, and unless I label the containers immediately, I forget what's in them. (This happens even with clear containers, because I can only see like... one item through the side).
Ahahaha relatable. I've learned that it's best to only take out one thing at a time, because I never manage to finish a full clean-out. (I have a lot of health issues that make huge projects an issue). Taking out one thing to get rid of or put where it belongs (a lot of stuff in my closet should be somewhere else) results in limited mess even if I immediately dump the item on the bed and forget I was working on the closet.
