GARAGE
Commonly the garage is the place where most of the items that make you think you might use or need one day end up.
💡 If you haven't used it in the past five years, the chances are high you will never use it or need it.
HOW TO DECLUTTER AND ORGANISE GARAGE
• If possible take everything out and give a good clean.
• Because so many different types of items are stored in a garage, I recommend organising in zones. Begin by grouping like items with like items.
• Tools
• Garden tools
• Sport equipment
• Camping gear
• Car care supplies etc.
• Declutter, declutter, declutter.
• Having a hard time letting go of things you spent a lot of money on? The money has already been spent, so whether you keep the item (and never use it) or let it go, the money spent on it is not coming back. It’s best to just let go and make better spending decisions in the future.
• Next, designate an area in your garage for each category you've created.
• It is best to use stackable plastic containers with good fitting tops, instead of cardboard
• When possible, try to create storage space in your garage that is up and off the ground to maximize space.
• Label everything to identify the contents, so you can find things easily later.
