The Secret to Tidiness

The secret to tidiness is to have a place and a space for everything. If you have too much stuff you can never be tidy, that's it.

So if you crave tidiness and you never seem to get there, you need to get rid of the things that you aren't using. If things are tidy until you need to get one thing, but you have to move a couple of other things to get to what you want and in the process you make a mess - you aren't properly tidy - you are surface tidy only - which is a transient condition!

When you start, it can be really hard to get rid of things. Luckily, as you go along you start to let go of things and it gets easier. You also start getting the feedback of things looking nicer, of it being easier to find things which encourages you to keep going. 

A things get more under control, you can plan better for the things that you do use and need and want. An organised and tidy space makes it easy to get to every thing - you can be find and access what you want without disturbing other items.

In the case of your clothes, a tidy wardrobe is not one that is bursting at the seams, where every drawer is so stuffed full you have to dig around for what you are looking for. Where everything gets crushed and needs to be ironed again before you can wear it. You wont have more to wear is you can't find what you want or if when you do find it it's not ready to go. So get ruthless and start clearing things out!
