Doing a garage cleanout can seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be! Here are 10 tips for making it all go smoothly.
1. Start with the most difficult task first – this way you'll get the hard part out of the way and feel more accomplished as you move on to easier tasks.
2. Have a plan – set up bins or boxes labeled "keep", "toss", and "donate" before you begin so that sorting is easy and efficient.
3. Take your time – don't rush through your cleanout or else things will start piling up again in no time!
4. Sell what you can – don’t miss out on some extra cash by getting rid of items that still have value!
5. Make sure everything gets put away properly–regularly stored items should be placed on shelves, hooks, etc., not just thrown in a corner or tossed into a pile somewhere unseen.
6. De-clutter frequently–when tackling any mess a little bit at a time isn't too overwhelming and makes repeat visits less stressful overall - plus it's always nice to stay ahead of the clutter!
7. Reorganize often–sometimes reorganizing your storage space can make finding items much easier; try using bins, baskets, hangers, etc., instead of leaving things scattered everywhere (or worse...hidden behind boxes). 8 Invest in quality storage solutions–it pays off if you find products with built-in features like racks and drawers that help keep small objects organized rather than tucked away in some forgotten bin or box in the back corner of your garage gathering dust over time**9Create flexible spaces for seasonal items**You might want to create separate areas within your garage devoted exclusively to holiday decorations or summer gear so they're always ready when needed without taking up permanent space year-round.
