    Hi! Great podcast. Just a comment about the winter coats, I had a similar situation and discovered that it ended up being easier to just make sure that I always had space in the coat closet for the winter gear. The first place I always looked for winter gear was in that coat closet. When I tried to store off-season gear somewhere else, I just ended up forgetting that I had it, and the kids grew out of it! Now I have a plastic bin that I keep in the coat closet, and if I have any winter gear that doesn’t yet fit the kids I put it in there. Everything else that currently fits just hangs on a hook! No more forgotten gear, and everybody can find what they need on that first snow day of the year.

    Dana, your books and videos have helped me immensely! Keep up the excellent work. First when you decluttered your cookbooks and you came across the picnic basket; you could keep your picnic supplies in the picnic basket if you got it as a wedding present so it is meaningful to you. I realize you probably have donated it by now, but just a thought. And secondly, the container concept was a game changer for me.

    This is a great idea, EngineerMom! I started storing my son’s “grow-into” clothes in giant plastic zipper storage bags (from the dollar store), sorted by size in his bedroomcloset. But, sometimes when I open up the next size’s bag, it’s not yet winter. So, keeping THOSE items in the coat closet would help me access them quickly when winter sneaks up on us! 🙂

    Just found your blog and videos and I wanted to say I really appreciate your honesty and sense of humour. You are funny and get your point across beautifully.
    Picking up much wisdom and feeling validated on some things I was already doing.
    I stopped sorting and making piles a while back. I’d rather deal with three things fully than sort through 100 that still won’t make it to where they should be!!!

    Thanks Engineer Mom! This is Jessica from the podcast episode. You are so right – I was literally having that realization as Dana and I talked: maybe I can just leave all seasons in the closet and not worry about the “ideal” if rotating them. Duh! 🙂 Love the bin in the closet idea!

    The choice of coats going in front closet or basement storage ignores the container concept of clothes belong where the clothes are–on a hangar or hook where each person’s clothes are kept in their room or closet. If their closet is full then THAT is what to declutter! Learned that from Dana…take it there and get rid of something else to make room. Coats do not need to live in the vacuum closet or basement.
