****WARNING****
The beginning of this video is VERY annoying. The “it’s like a tanktop” thing ends at 1:30 so it gets less annoying after that. Basically, this is typical teenage behavior… I have a teenager and when her friends are here it pretty much looks like this video, although not with the 500 sq foot closet…
Miley and Mandy are doing what we call in the biz “Social Organizing”. One person is helping another person get through an organizing project. Their method is a bit sloppy… from my organizer perspective… but… it is working. So bravo for Miley and Mandy.
There are some great tips and visuals on the basics of organizing that you can get from this video;
- Have an organizing buddy like Mandy to keep you moving along.
- Organize like with like, notice the white shirts, black shirts, the purses and OMG “The Tank Tops” are all grouped together….like with like.
- Memories are in your head and heart not the stuff, so purging the “Johnny Depp” shirt is OK.
- It is OK to donate or give away things with tags on them, especially things that are over 6 months old.
- Notice how Miley went through the purses then moved to the shirts, tackling one area at a time.
Overall I would give them a 2 thumbs up for their efforts…after the annoying part!
I love videos, it is a great way to learn… SHOWing rather than TELLing people how to get organized…

as a final thought…..I am coveting Miley’s closet….and I am sure you are too!
