The Closet Experiment
Sometimes, it surprises me how I manage to clutter my closet literally a few days after it has been carefully organized. The truth is that I am simply a messy person, still, being unable to fetch the blouse I have planned to wear annoys me just as much as being woken up in the middle of the night by the noisy neighbours. I have decided to behave more like an adult, and set an example to my room-mates who, just like me, are not very tidy. After having though a lot what it takes to keep my closet organized, I decided that sitting around and wondering where to begin with isn’t going to cut it even close. Since I am very curious by nature, the most sensible thing to do to keep me on track with my plans was to conduct a small experiment… and this is how it all began: 1. The Preparation If I was to keep my closet organized for a prolonged period of time, I had to start with a clean slate, right? So, I got down to business, and took everything out of the closet – just don’t ask me how much time it actually took to finish the preparation process! Since summer is about to hit us hard, the sensible thing to do was to put away my winter clothing, and accessories, and take out the summer ensemble. Having carefully folded, colour-coded, and set everything into separate piles, I decided it was time to start placing each pile on a designated spot. I worked out a scheme to make sure that I had the best access to the clothes I wear most often to work, my domestic attire, and the party stuff. Once I was done organizing, and, yes cleaning the closet, it was time to initiate the experiment… 2. Observation Time To have a successful experiment, you need to gather data on your usual behaviour for a fixed period of time, then analyse, and come up with the best ways to improve your “closet behaviour”. A week seemed like enough, based on my previous experience – usually, it takes me no longer to “ruin” my stunning arrangement… A week passed, and as it turned out, I was totally right, and the closet had reached it’s initial messy state. However, I had been a good little scientist, and I had observed, taken notes, and even some pics that I am not particularly proud of. 3. The Conclusions I lack self control! Not that big of a surprise, still, I can say that I am fairly ashamed from my behaviour. As it turned out...
