"I was fed up with my closet situation, but I was not sure what to do about it. Then I remembered my mom's hanger trick that she'd use several times while I was growing up. It's simple, doesn't require a dedicated block of time, and is very effective. Even though the results aren't instant, I decided it was time to try the hanger trick for myself."
"To use the hanger trick, all I needed was a set of hangers in a different color than the ones I already had. I didn't need to change anything about my routine except for one simple step. Instead of hanging up clothes I wore on my old hangers, I started using a different-colored hanger before putting them back in my closet."
The hanger trick uses a different-colored hanger to mark clothes that are actually worn. Each time a garment is worn and laundered, it is rehung on the new hanger color. Over months this creates a visual separation of frequently worn garments from unworn items. The method requires only a set of different-colored hangers and a small change to the routine. The process is slow but requires minimal time investment and helps identify which items to keep and which can be discarded, reducing closet clutter and simplifying outfit choices.
