Managing Wardrobes
Manging your new and old, and want you to want in your wardrobes should always be on top of your list. If you are managing your wardrobes then go right ahead and if it's the whole family then take a person at a time. Start with piling your clothes in four piles, Keep, give away, store for later, and bin.
Pick and hang the clothes which will be worn in the season or on weekly basis. Then store the clothes which you would need in the other seasons, like winter. Now, you better give away that childhood sweater that you still carry around and any other cloth that you have grown out of. And at last, get rid of the clothes which are either worn out or have gotten ruined beyond wear.

Organizing everything as necessary as possible
