Getting rid of HALF MY CLOSET!! MASSIVE minimalist clean & de-clutter | Jordan Page

[@kileypowers785]

Okay I'm a minimalist deep to my core so I've watched every "purge your closet" "minimalist wardrobe" video KZbin has to offer. And this is the FIRST time someone broke down their declutter in this way. Got 20 shirts, get rid of 10. This feels so achievable and rewarding. Great tip!!

[@jordanpagecompany]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@AmeliaUnleashed]

I love this method too!

[@alycescanlon-batt9715]

I’m inspired to try this method too. Always tried other methods but need to give this one a go!

[@trishb6895]

I really like this idea as well rather then just the do i use it does it fit, keep it super simple… you have ten keep only half your favorites. Easier to be more brutal when you’re on the fence to have that clear goal.

[@MinimalMeghan]

Same dawg

[@jbtobin302]

One thing you did that’s a serious game changer when decluttering is not hesitating to get rid of something that still has the tag on. I always struggle to get rid of things on the basis of “I spent money on this and even if I don’t wear it I don’t want to waste the money!” But a bad purchase isn’t made any less bad by keeping it unnecessarily in your closet 😅 thanks for this, so motivating!

[@jbossi]

This is such a simple approach! You don't even have to do it all at once- just shirts one day, sweaters another, etc. Thank you for sharing!

[@yanak7159]

This is an awesome way to declutter! I’m a minimalism in my clothes. Literally have 3 T-shirt’s, 2 pairs of jeans, 1 pair of leggings and few dresses 😂. But I love it! I wear everything all the time and once it starts falling apart, I get rid of it and buy something to replace it. I love it.

[@irishyouwereherewithme]

Come help me throw all my stuff away!😂

[@alittlebitofmary]

I am a super minimalist with clothing too, and was watching this thinking. “I did not know anybody could possibly own that many clothes!!” Glad I’m not the only one! I love my small capsule wardrobe, and like you said if I get sick of something or it gets stained or anything else I just replace it! So nice.

[@nss7230]

​@@irishyouwereherewithme sometimes I feel like I wish I would wake up and all my clothes are gone, haha.

[@alisonsanter8074]

​@@nss7230are they still there? X

[@abfamily4075]

Your hanger trick of putting the clothes on facing backwards at the beginning of the year and seeing what we never wore at the end of the year helped a TON with closet decluttering.

[@jtidema]

I've done that for the past year, it's very helpful. I think you can talk yourself into thinking "I've worn that somewhere" but this way you KNOW you have not worn it at all...

[@D_FerlaHive]

So I need to put this out there. I saw Page yesterday at Costco. And I sadly missed my opportunity and chickened out. In my defense she was on the phone and seemed very focused to get out of there. So here is what I would have said if I had the courage. Thank you for your content and your vulnerability and for being so genuine. ❤

[@alittlebitofmary]

That’s awesome!! Which Costco haha 😂

[@averynmitchell]

Jordan, you rock! The fact that you use the most of short breaks in between work, kids, activities to craft KZbin videos... you definitely know how to make the most of every minute! Very admirable

[@jackimanley3056]

Im a minimalist for sure but I think it's great how you tackled it! Cutting everything in half is a great way to start! Not everyone has to be a minimalist but we should all avoid excess. Way to go! It does feel good!

[@BrookeDoesScience]

I was so overwhelmed with my clothes years ago. This is exactly what I did. Cut my clothes in half. Every 6 months for about 2-3 years. Now I have a much smaller pool of clothes. I’m not cutting down again until after I’m done with pregnancies and early motherhood so I have plenty of options between the body changes, but it was so helpful!! Cutting in half is a fantastic strategy!!

[@jeaninedeboer]

Can we see more of this?! Love these declutters where youtubers take us along in the process 👍🏻👍🏻

[@mandersmn]

I needed this so much! I have the best intentions and then always get SO overwhelmed and feel guilty especially if it still has the tags on etc. Watching this actually makes me feel like I can FINALLY just bite the bullet and do it. Also as a mom i love how you were able to fit this in with all the other interruptions...makes it feel a lot more relatable. Thank you!!!

[@teresawebster6822]

Thank you for how you started this video and the message regarding your ADHD... I needed that. My teen son was just diagnosed and you summed up his actions describing yourself. Wow. Thank you for helping this hurting mom heart who has been searching for answers but do not know the questions to ask. I would love to know more of your journey. ❤

[@ColleenJoudrey]

I'm an ADHD mom and wife of 3 who also have ADHD . At one time I didn't think minimalism would work for me but after alot of reflection (and some therapy), I realized that my part-time home and the place where I found an incredible amount of peace, was a completely bare-bones living arrangement which has/is making my decluttering journey so much easier.

[@sharilynmccracken5933]

You are my hero right now, this seems like it's a dream, no one could declutter so easily. Thank you for showing us it IS possible ❤

[@ida878]

You had 144 tops, and the year only has 365 days, which theoretically means you only have to do laundry 3 times a year to keep you covered (literally)😅 I'm not an American (it seems very much like an American phenomenon) and the amount of clothes baffles me every time. But I get that you like the variety, and I do love your videos❤

[@kenz1129]

Yes with ADHD and indecisiveness. I will say that AFTER I decluttered over half my wardrobe and got rid of so much stuff inside my house despite how my brain works, it makes it EASIER! Getting overwhelmed and being indecisive is EASY to do when you have SO MANY choices and things to choose from. I know everyone is different, but keep in mind that even though it’s stressful in the beginning, the end result makes life so much easier and less chaotic! Amazing video! Thanks for sharing❤

[@yvonneschermerhorn866]

Having a definite number to toss or keep ( half) is brilliant. I think I could do that! Thanks!❤

[@madeleinep7103]

So satisfying to watch. The getting rid of half doesn't resonate with me personally but it was super fun watching you get excited and gain momentum with it.

[@karenhernke281]

I saw someone do a trick. When you hang your clothes up...put all the hangers backwards. In 6 months time. The ones that are still backwards get rid of. That means you won't be using them. Jordan, I would die to have that closet and girl you sure have the clothes. Lol I like the way you declutter. Great system. I need to try that!

[@taykdew]

Highly recommend going through and picking out your favorites and using the container method in decluttering at the speed of life! Basically if it doesn’t fit in your closet something has to go.

[@meman6964]

Yes,see Dana L White, container method.❤🎉

[@cassthompson3386]

I don't know why I've never thought about doing it this way before! I love the idea of counting each category and getting getting rid of at least half. What a great idea. Thank you for sharing.

[@CGC1954]

You’re inspiring me because I’ve been standing in my closet for weeks looking at all the clothes that I have and thinking how overwhelmed I’m going to be and I got to go through it. Basically I want it remodeled so I really should pull everything out but for now I’m going to try your method on how many I have, get rid of half. I hope it works for me. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@christinaburnett7166]

Absolutely love this!! ❤ You don't have to be a "minimalist" to enjoy a good purge

[@emilybakerjones9881]

I'm a minimilist & also have adhd....I find having a lot of stuff is very stressful for me. I have no problem eliminating stuff. 🎉

[@Michelle_Westdam]

ok, so knowing that you are a maximalist, this video was SO entertaining to watch, bc it opened the window to my friends who are NOT minimalist like myselff. Also, you totally CRUSHED this video! PLEASE DO PART 2 so we can see the final results!!!! Good job!

[@michellemorales401]

Keep half. Donate half. Love it. I just cleaned out 2 garbage bags, but I KNOOOOOOOW I can do better! Thanks for the push! 🎉😊

[@jordanpagecompany]

Great job!

[@jordanpagecompany]

Great job!

[@l.g.4451]

I have a smallish closet for the amount of clothes that I have. I took Marie Kondo's tip and folded my t-shirts, leggings, jean capris and put them in drawers or bins under my hanging clothes. Easy to get to, but they don't take up prime real estate on the hanging rods. The rods are reserved for my beautiful blouses and kimonos, etc, and keeps them wrinkle free. Many times all it takes is better organization and not so much throwing out good clothing or things you may end up regretting.

[@Lo-jh3so]

By far my favorite declutter video and I have watched sooooo many

[@debbieriddle9429]

I've not owned that many clothes my entire life, and I'm almost 67. Wow.

[@lostinthemission]

I love watching declutter videos and I’m so proud of everything you did in one day! And a little jealous of your closet and clothes. I’m a minimalist and for each category have so much less. I agree, variety is so fun! 🥳

[@adelineredesign]

Former minimalist here. Your approach helped be bag for donation more than half of what I touched in my closet immediately upon taking the hanger in hand. Thank you! All I did for the "category" was call it "the things in this stack I just grabbed". LOVE how well organized you manage to be with so many belongings. I lack that skill, and admit I would rather not have to develop it.

[@chelseagarchar4338]

Awesome! I feel you momma, all of our closets are bursting at the seams. Totally understand feeling overwhelmed and insane! I love how you broke down each section and trying to get rid of half in each section.

[@karenvillanueva9984]

What a great idea for someone like me who procrastinates when it has to do with my closet. Although everything in my closet is in my current size. There are items that are worn out or ill fitting or no longer in style. Gonna tackle it right now. Thanks for the motivation!

[@karenvillanueva9984]

My son joined in right away. We ended up going to Goodwill 3x as we were filling bags because I didn't want any 2nd thoughts or regrets. So long clutter! Our closets are so much more manageable and we're no longer overloaded with choices. We did go clutterblind by getting used to looking at useless items taking up space. May need to do another pass through mine but so glad I watched your video of keeping half, getting rid of half.

[@sarahwalpole7432]

You should get your house of colours done so you know exactly what colors look good on you! I’m so proud of you and getting this done!! It has to feel so good!

[@juliebraden]

Jordan I luv how u chose a #. Count total & get rid of 1/2. That is such a great strategy! That is such an incredibly helpful tip! I love that u r a maximallist Jordan!

[@betterlivingonabudget]

I have literally had 'Purge closet' on my to-do list for a month now, so thanks for the inspo!! Maximalism Queen, here. The idea to set a purge number for each category is brilliant, def going to try that, thanks! Had to LOL when you said you're a maximalist - yes, girl, yes - you have eight kiddos, LOL.🏆 May the Lord love and bless you and your family to the max through the holidays and rght on through 2024!

[@alittlebitofmary]

Yes girl, you have eight kiddos 🤣🤣🤣

[@debbiebrown9791]

I LOVE that you’re a maximalist haha and I feel that way too but I also hate messes so… this really helped that you got rid of HALF that is just what I needed to hear. So inspiring!!

[@shrutigondal1869]

I don’t usually comment on YT videos, but i must say i am a minimalist and i think watching your video was joy because it was practical honest and fun ❤

[@jenniferdube4966]

Definitely a great motivational video to get me going again with my decluttering of clothes. I love the idea of getting rid of 50%. My rule is: 1 new thing in, then 2 items go into the donate box. Eventually I will have a manageable closet. Thanks for a great video.

[@Kanne60]

Thank you for sharing this!! I was amazed at how quickly you were able to make decisions! You’ve really inspired me to clean out my own closet! 😊

[@Rus.A92]

A lot of clothes overwhelms me, so I definitely have very little and I love it. I started buying less clothes but better quality that will last a lot longer and pieces that don’t really go out of style. The section where your T-shirts are that could probably fit all of my clothes not including my jeans/ pants and coats

[@rachelphelps6347]

Wow, you had 52 t-shirts!! LOL My home is small, and I think the closets were made for Barbie clothes!! I probably have 10 T shirts and most of them are in drawers. I like the idea of clearing out half of what you have! Well done Jordan! I like how you did it quickly without thinking about it too much. Make a decision and do it!!

[@susanflanigan370]

Wow this is amazing! I don;t know anybody that has this much clothing even after you decluttered, I think your wardrobe is massive, maybe I've led a very sheltered life...........however congratulations on your declutter, you've given everyone some great ideas here and I love the energy you put into it!

[@renaparker4579]

Sometimes we have abundance in one area over others. You can let go of the abundant items+ still have what you need. I've notice I have abundance in the area where I give. Also, I've noticed the more I get rid of, the easier it is to let go of stuff. Thank you for your videos! ❤

[@kerrybiamonti6092]

That's a great observation about the abundance in your area of giving, thank you so much for sharing that ❤

[@totallifehacker1781]

Looks so much better and you can now find things.

[@srvancorven]

I've cleaned out my closet before with the Marie Kondo method, but never got rid of the amount that I actually want to. I tend to hold on to things 'just in case'. This is actually a super smart way, to just get rid of half of it! Another way that I have heard of, that is apparently really helpful, is to grab the clothes out of your closet that you 1000% absolutely LOVE and wouldn't give away for the world. That way you can look at the things you love less and (apparently/hopefully) realize you don't actually want and/or need it. Gonna try that and your method soon. Loved the video!

[@claireeddy1141]

Hi Jordan, I also organize my clothes by the purpose. Church Clothes together, Holiday Clothes together, Vacation, Family Celebration Clothes, Grubby Clothes together (Clothes to wear only when doing laundry, housecleaning, outdoor yardwork, (seasonally).

[@simple_naildesigns]

Love that, great tip!

[@purplehound2420]

Honestly, watching you do these things and talk about yourself, it is like me in another life. LOL Very much enjoy your videos and am using them to insire me to move on my list of stuff to do.

[@charityc]

omg thank you for the idea breaking it down by a number, and per style! it totally helped me purge more not only because i had a number goal, but more importantly purged a lot per clothing style. breaking it down in these two ways helped with the anxiety to even start and be quick for each decision. total life saver! i think i'll have to look at purging other areas in my house with this strategy!! thank you and love ya!

[@EvelyneMariee]

Love the keep half donate half!! I’d love to do this with other areas of the home too! Great video!!

[@marleenvandijk7035]

The greatest declutter video!! I'm on a closet declutter video binge, but this one is the best I've come across. You're method is amazing, and I love watching you follow through on your promis and actually getting rid of half (or even more)!

[@kaktusdesiberie7196]

Having stuff that I don’t like or don’t fit me well actually bothers me in my daily life, it’s very freeing to declutter and I love having the feeling that everything I own, I love. Excellent job beautiful 🌸

[@hopelucas5986]

I put all my outfits together .I try on all my close and ask my self how I feel in them .if it feels good and I love it I keep it.quality over quantity

[@lenettasmith-murray2145]

I just did this in my closet & my dresser drawers. I have two bags ready for local church gove away. Feel so good about getting rid of things. Im a minimalist but not by nature, by years of having to. I live in a 660 square foot apartment, so trust me no storage, well very little. So proud of you, great job 😊

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

I found the best way to sort my closet was to take Everything out, try it All on, see what it went with, where would I wear it, did I still like it, did I have shoes to go with it, etc.... if i loved or said Yes to all my questions, it went into the robe, if it wasnt all yeses, it went in the donation pile. Got rid of half the wardrobe and 1/3 of the shoes....

[@denisecarpenter2981]

I like your idea of counting and getting rid of half. That is a helpful goal.

[@tristanrowlee8963]

Great job Jordan! This helps me understand some of my maximalist kids. It is always interesting to see how others do things. The sheer amount of clothing for one person... mind-blowing. We are a family of 12 and have less between the 12 of us than you. (We aim for 6 pants, 6 shorts, 6 long sleeve, 6 short sleeve, 2 church, 1 swim.).😊

[@emrej2527]

I just declutterred 70% of my closet by literally just asking myself do I actually wear this? And it worked! I kept the stuff that I wear all the time (and some items that serve a direct purpose like snow pants, bathing suit, etc.). Some of my clothes I’ve storing away for later just to see how it feels

[@erinhemberger1676]

Literally sitting in my living room in a HUGE pile of laundry when this popped up in my suggested videos 😂 it was faaaaaaate ❤️ thanks for this!

[@fionashatwell7090]

i am at home with covid and did mine yesterday,felt so good, hubby said oh no that means you will want to go shopping!!

[@patworfka143]

Maximalist and ADHD here as well. I was surprised how many of the things you said were typical of “us” I identified with. I literally just told my husband this week that we are purging our closet and I think this #-based approach might def work for me! Wish me luck. 😬😄

[@heathern9051]

Good job. I realize that I need to figure out what colors look good on me and then do the same thing to my closet. For a period of time I bought what was easily available instead of figuring out if I looked good in it.

[@yvonneshick9759]

Thank you for the motivation to do the same with my closet! Every day I stand in my closet and stare at all the clothes I have, yet maybe wear 25% of them. 😳

[@jordanpagecompany]

Very relatable! We all keep those things "we might maybe wear again someday..." but do we ever?!

[@philippatill9727]

Just start doing it. I started over a year ago and things that I'm bored of stand out so much now and I get rid of things straight away. It's a real skill to learn. You can do it!

[@annalauryn966]

U can keep 8 sweaters if u live in a place that has a full cold season. U might need 10 tees too. So make a season capsule and make space in the garage. If u don't need ur winter coat and sweaters march-sept. Put them in the capsule. If u don't need a short sleeve body suit or 9pair of Lululemon shorts during sept-march put them in the capsule. The closest stays clear and u keep ur good fashions. We buy good fashions and we're not rich so we keep our stuff that we want to still wear. We just keep them in clear bins for the season

[@Lo-jh3so]

The amount of times I go back to this video, absolutely love it thank you it’s helped me so much

[@harshikaswarup3879]

Here in Dubai, we don’t have walk in closets. Our homes just have large or medium sized cupboards with shelving. And sometimes rods to hang clothes. So we fold our clothes flat and stack them, which i prefer cuz to me it looks neater. Anyway, I do a sizable purge every quarter and it’s always wonderful!

[@melcha7352]

Thanks for sharing. My mom did the same thing to her bedroom closet and gave 3 large bags to near by group homes in the next state. Group homes need clothes more then the "Goodwill" does so that's what she did. Good way to donate.

[@mamabear1324]

You rocked that girl. It'd be cool to see a part 2. But I know it's probably a lot of hard work doing all that and filming. Sometimes it's easier just to get in there and get it done

[@curlycue1983]

Suggestion for the family tshirt you don't wear but it has sentimental value: there are frames online that are specifically displaying tshirts on your wall. I too have a special tshirt I will never wear, but it's on my wall :)

[@simple_naildesigns]

This is great to do every few months. You did amazing - and as someone with ADHD, less helps me make quick decisions.

[@deborateixeira1031]

I am a minimalist, you actually inspired me to cut down my number of clothes even more!

[@pegeggeggleston4315]

Hi Jordan - Great plan and execution. I'm a maximalist living in a home for 30 years. I don't want to leave a mess for whoever outlives me. I'm going to start next week and see how it goes. I can't find a free hanger or get anything else in my areas. Tee Hee. Thanks for sharing and have a great trip. Love PegEgg

[@danabrown2391]

Yours is the first one I've Watched that follows though with what you determined before hand for the number to declutter.yay!

[@crisashley5056]

Love love love the idea of halving the number.

[@Sssilentlaugh]

Hey! Can you talk more about ADHD? How to get it all done, and do you take any medication for it? What do you drink if not caffeine?

[@amoruffo]

This is so refreshing! Just went through my horde of sweaters and purged half! Then did scarves today. Is this what it feels like to have everything fit in one place?! 😅

[@TheLuvableLiberty]

One of the best closet declutter videos I've seen! Wish it was longer!!

[@JoyfulLivingLinda]

I can see how this is very helpful. I'm gonna do this when I come back home from grocery shopping ❤

[@candiesanchez2304]

This “half” mindset is GENIUS!!! I’m trying it this weekend!😊😊❤

[@grizzfan08]

Purging the closet... that had to have felt SOOOOOOO good in the end!!! I actually like your concept of getting rid of half of each clothing item, very smart. For the extra hangers, I would put them in the old laundry room so that it would get rid of the temptation of getting new clothes all the time. I wonder what would happen if you try this purging method on the kids' closets, or even Bubba's closet? Keep it up!!!

[@claireeddy1141]

Hi Jordan, I think that organizing your closet is a good idea. My plan is to organize my clothes and closet by the seasons. That way my clothes will be worn during the year. I think that some people follow the idea of, if something isn't used beyond a year, then it can be donated. I also organize each seasons clothes by color, ( whites together, pinks together, yellows together, etc.).

[@jordanpagecompany]

That's a great idea!

[@nattyophelia7879]

I have adhd and your little explanation there in front of your closet- soooo right on. I feel the same overwhelm and have to structure everything in order to stay somewhat organized. I dig into my closet sometimes and look around and suddenly im surrounded by a HUGE mess. But how? I was trying to organize! Lol

[@wolfmangaming3066]

That was awesome! Hearing that it was easier to have a set number to get rid of helps.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Love the idea of setting a number goal.

You should make a memory bin and keep it in storage. Like that white "family" tshirt could go in there and your jean jacket from high school.

[@monicaslavens4131]

I love this idea. I am going to use this to help me focus on getting rid of my t-shirts. I have so many that they are starting to accumulate on top of my dresser.

[@patstrawhouse4005]

I honestly need to get rid of 2/3s of my clothes. “Like you, “I don’t want to do it! I don’t want to do it! I don’t want to do it!” I need to have winter clothes, so this makes my job harder. However, seeing the HUGE difference it has made in your closet, I’m now that it needs to be done. Thanks for the motivation! Stay well! Ontario, 🇨🇦

[@jordanpagecompany]

Trust me, it will be WORTH it! You can do it!

[@noemisolano4748]

I love your videos!! I enjoy decluttering videos!! I too have been on a journey decluttering my mountain of papers and tons of clothing. Took me awhile since I work full time but I'm getting it done!!! I've gotten rid of some many of my clothing that now the clothes that I kept fit in my small closet!! All my clothing is now organized and I have space in my closet. I only buy clothes if I need something. I also conquered my mountain of papers. That's way way down too. You did a great job!!! You decluttered so many clothes in such a short amount of time.

[@nikkibadzik3948]

This was so good. That beginning was so relatable

[@lyntintin8350]

Love your method for decluttering. Super helpful 👏. Thanks for sharing! 💗

[@valeriesmith7223]

I'm impressed that you did this without trying things on. I would go to keep something and then realize it doesn't fit anymore
