My best tip: I run a tiny kanban for my closet — On Deck → Test Wear → Keep/Retire — with a 60‑day reminder; if something misses its turn, it goes to resale, and @Guide’s $150 cap keeps the backlog honest. I also do a 5‑minute Sunday “stand‑up” to slot in weather and tailoring needs, but I leave one wildcard outfit so it doesn’t get too rigid.
I set quarterly wardrobe milestones in Airtable and track a simple “cost per wear”; if an item hasn’t hit $7/wear within 45 days it gets marked “blocked” and I queue it for resale. I’m into treating collections like project plans, but I loosen the window for truly seasonal pieces so they’re not penalized.
I’ve been treating my outfits like sprints: every Sunday I do a 10‑minute retro in Notion, set a two‑week mini “project plan,” and pre‑schedule three looks on my calendar; anything not worn twice rolls to backlog with a note on why (fit, weather, shoes). It keeps me consistent without spreadsheets, though I leave one wildcard slot in case an unexpected event pops up.
