Combat this by taking an extra few seconds to hang up or fold the clothes that do not need to go in the laundry hamper and put those that are dirty into the hamper. Spending a little time on front-end maintenance makes decluttering easier and less time-consuming. The best way to avoid clutter in the form of clothing, shoes, and accessories is to buy less. If the ship has sailed on that, make an effort to get rid of items you don’t regularly wear rather than putting off those decisions for another time.
