A MOM-of-16 documented the process as she tried to minimize her life and cleans out her closet.
Tiffany Nelson, who runs the channel Not Enough Nelsons on YouTube, ended up getting rid of a mountain of clothes as she shared the process in a video.

She began her cleanout video sitting in her closet – admitting "it's pretty bad" as she showed clothes packed together on hangers and in bins.
The mom-of-16 said she has "all these clothes, but really nothing to wear."
"Probably 90percent of my clothes, I'm not kidding, are at least 10 to 15 years old," she said, adding that a lot of articles have been acquired through friends or family.
The mom said she's been inspired by videos she's watched on how to be minimalist – and decided to try and downsize her own closet and her kids'.
Standing in her closet, the mom said tackling her closet is "daunting work" – but decided to tackle the clothes hanging in her closet.
Tiffany then began loading clothes on her bed, as she wiped the hanging rods in her closet.

Nodding to Marie Kondo, she said she has three criteria for keeping articles of clothing – if they bring her joy, if they fit her well and she feels confident in them, and if she wants to "manage them."
Tiffany instantly put two items into the "get rid of" pile – which she said clothes will either be listed on a resale app, or given to family or friends.
The busy mom held up one shirt, and said: "I like this when I have time to iron it, but I don't know if I always have the time to iron it – and do I want to do the upkeep for it?"
She then tossed the shirt into a "maybe" pile to come back to later.
Holding up a pair of boots still in the box, she said "they were too small" and she hasn't had time to return them – but "someone else will love them."
She continued sorting through clothes, sorting through dozens of articles of clothing, getting rid of heaps of items she no longer wears.
As she sorted through the many items in her closet, the "get rid of" pile grew.
She showed several items that still had the tags on them.
"Why have I kept this is my closet all these years? I don't even wear half of them!" she exclaimed as she sorted through the piles.
She said there's "no more guilt keeping" as she kept adding items to the stack to clean out.
As she sorted through the clothes, she realized some of the items in her stash belonged to her sons.
By the time she sorted through all her clothes, Tiffany showed a mountain that she was to get rid of.

The mom then hung her clothes back in the closet – revealing they fit with loads of space to spare.
Although, looking at the remaining items, she said: "I'm still not happy with this," and got rid of a few more pieces of clothing.
Looking at the result, she said of the remaining items: "Really, this is what I was wearing anyways, so all of that was cluttering it and just making it stressful to walk in my closet."
She then said she'll tackle the rest of the clothes in the bins of her closet another day.
