Decluttering clothes usually involves taking everything you own, throwing it on the floor and spending hours deciding what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

While the end results feel very good, the process is long and painstaking.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
It turns out there is a quick and easy way to declutter your clothes sans creating a volcano of garments to sort.
All you need to do is keep an empty basket in your wardrobe. Every time you go to wear something, but decide against it (for whatever reason), pop it in the basket. If you have clothes you aren’t wearing, you probably never will.
When your basket is full, go through those clothing items and decide what you’ll keep and what you will donate or sell. It’s that easy.
The best part is this method really works.
As written here: “I sold and donated the clothing that I’d collected in the container without a second thought, and back in the closet the empty box went. I’ve continued this process for the last few months, and I’m happy to report that it works.”
Here’s how to get rid of your unsellable clothes.
