Clothes. After pictures, the next toughest decision revolves around closets. You know — that dress you bought five years ago for when you lose 10 pounds. Or the shoes you couldn’t pass up because they were on sale, even though they hurt like hell. Tackle your closets with one simple question: “Have I worn this in the past six months?” (OK, 12 months if you live in the frozen north.) If the answer is no, that item goes into your to-be-disposed-of pile. If you have worn a piece fewer than three times in that length of time, ditch it too.
