There are many socks that you can buy for a variety of reasons. Most people have more socks than they know what to do with. So why do we have so many? How do we determine what\u2019s the best number of socks to have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of socks you should own is equal to the number you use on a repetitive basis. In one week you will likely use 7-14 pairs of socks for regular activities and exercise. If you have other socks you use at least once a month, include at least one pair of those in your total number. Your total should be about 10-20 pairs of regularly worn socks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you wash your clothes more than once a week you will need far fewer socks. If you want to declutter, socks are a good place to start. Decide which socks you want and need and if you try hard you may be able to get your number down to about 10 pairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping Track of Your Socks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

I used to lose track of my socks much more often. My socks were not organized too well and at times I would find it difficult to get a pair of socks to match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I would lose a sock and I never find it again. Probably my washer and dry wanted to hide them from me.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the problem was that I had plenty of socks to wear. I would buy some new socks when I needed to, but after getting them, I found a reason not to wear them. I then would buy other socks that were better suited for my needs and the style I was looking for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon, I would have too many socks. I held on to them because I thought I could use them\u2026 later. So I stored them in a second sock draw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I only used about 7-10 pairs each week. Eventually, I never looked in my second sock drawer for socks. I forgot about them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when the time came to buy new socks I bought more pairs without using the new ones in the second sock drawer. Eventually, I recognized I needed to clear out all those socks and donate them. This was the first part of the solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second part of the solution that helped me keep track of my socks was to buy some drawer organizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These helped me get organized. I could see what clothing I had available much easier. It was easy to see that I had too many of several items of clothing. I started folding my socks differently and kept them organized by type. After a week or two, I knew exactly what I needed and what I could donate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
