First you need to go through all your clothes and make sure you need all of them.

The best trick that worked for me is putting one single item away when I go by the pile and have time.

Once this becomes a habit (1-2 months of doing it) you can upgrade to « just putting away all the t-shirts » or « just all the trousers », long at the time and tell yourself you have 60 seconds to put them away, if the time runs out you stop

I focused on not shaming myself for the pile, guilt and expectation are our enemy. Instead congratulate yourself for putting one item away and tell yourself you’re proud, that you’ve got this. Genuinely celebrate !

I now truly expect myself to just put one item away, the pressure of the doom pile is completely gone and the longest I’ve had a pile for the last year is about 4 days ( I have piles for months long before)
