Podcast Episode 37 — Cleaning Out and Organizing Your Garage
Today let’s talk about cleaning out and organizing your garage.
The garage can be one of the worst spots for just dumping stuff. Garage clutter can seemingly multiply overnight while we are sleeping. Many homes have a two-car garage that only fits one car.
Sad, but true.
To start cleaning out and organizing your garage, pull your car or cars out into the street. You need the room to get organized. Once the cars are out, pull everything out of your garage.
Everything.
Sort it into piles in the driveway. Holiday items, sports equipment, camping gear, seasonal items, tools, lawn stuff, and household items can all have their own pile.
Once everything is out of the garage, scrub it clean. Get rid of the cobwebs and dirt. You could even take this opportunity to buy an epoxy floor kit at your local home improvement store. They aren’t that expensive and look great.
Now, while the paint is drying, turn your attention to those piles. Sort through each one.
If you don’t use it, donate it.
If it’s broken, toss it.
Aim to reduce each pile at least by half. The household stuff could even go in the house.
