This Thursday is Thanksgiving, and there are plenty of magazine articles, blogs, and websites that will give you all kinds of tips on how to have a perfectly organized and stress-free (are those things mutually exclusive?) Thanksgiving.

But for adults and teens, consider switching to a year-round closet. Years ago, I used to perform the semi-annual Big Closet Switch and each time it was a messy, agonizing, days-long chore. |
