Do you have a garage? If you do, think about it for a minute. Is it clean? Can you park your car in it? If you can, then you’re all set and don’t actually need to finish reading this blog. If you can’t park your car in it, well! This is the blog for you, then. Today we will get you the knowledge and skills to organize your garage and be able to use it for its intended purpose! Read on, friend.
First things first: take everything out of your garage. Set it all out in your driveway or similar staging area. Throw away all the trash or other junk that you have been harboring that you don’t actually need. Then when you have a pile of things you want to keep, go through that pile. There are probably some things you don’t need to keep. Remember to safely dispose of any hazardous materials that you are throwing away, such as paint and other chemicals!
The next step is to assess your organization. If you don’t have shelves, invest in some! Vertical organization can hold a lot of stuff in a very small footprint. If you do have shelves, wipe them down and then put the stuff you’re keeping on them. Sweep and/or vacuum the floor (you can even take this time to put down a nice layer of floor protector or paint to make it look great) and then do a little dusting and other various cleaning tasks that you might have the leftover motivation to do.
Finally, get that car back in there! Congrats, you did it! And now you won’t have to do any more snow and ice scraping, which is awesome in my book.
