Discardia is a holiday invented to help us all let go of things and simplify our lives. The Web site is devoted to living more with less, and has a handful of really handy tips for practicing what the holiday preaches. An easy extension of the "six-month rule"-where you donate all the stuff you haven't used in the past six months-this one is called "The Closet Trick."

The Closet Trick

1. Go into your closet and turn around all the hangers so the hooks are pointing towards you.

2. When you wear something, put it back with the hook the other way.

3. Make a note of the day. In six months, get rid of the garments on the hangers that are still the same way; if you aren't going to wear it more than once or twice a year (with a few exceptions), it's time to question whether or not you really need it. ::Metagrrrl.com
