What are your SORTING tips? Do you ever take a pile/stack/drawer/contents off to another location to be sorted? Do you dump out and perhaps vacuum before considering each item, and whether it's worthy of going back to its space?
Some people sort clothes closets inside the closet only, some by flopping all clothing onto their bed. Marie Kondo even bypassed the bed, and advised flopping every stitch of clothing into piles on the floor of another room.
What's the most helpful sorting item you use? For instance, is your "junk drawer" simply that, or do you have a drawer insert with cubbies, that forces you to sort a little before you close the drawer on a newly added item?
