In this episode, Katy shares six simple, realistic rules to help you declutter your closet and make getting dressed feel easier, faster, and way less stressful. No massive purge. No all-day overhaul. Just small shifts that actually stick. KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1) Use your past season as data Your closet is constantly giving you feedback… You just have to pay attention. Ask yourself: Did I have the opportunity to wear this? If I did… why didn't I? Your unworn items are clues: uncomfortable fits styles you've outgrown pieces you simply don't love anymore 👉 Stop guessing what works and start using real-life data 2) Create a donation station (this is bigger than it sounds) A simple bin, bag, or box can change everything. Why? Because it removes the biggest blocker: 👉 friction Instead of thinking, "I'll deal with this later…" You have a place to act immediately It also rewires your brain to see decluttering as: normal ongoing part of your routine 3) Get honest about your real life (not your aspirational life) Your closet should reflect: 👉 how you actually live right now Not: who you used to be <li data-section-id="1rzmrjs" data-start="2030" data-end="
