Garage Week - Tip #3 Label It Up


GO (GET ORGANIZED) MONTH

GARAGES

TIP #3


Labels

Masking tape, name tags, or polaroids.  Whatever you need to make sure you know what is where.

Try labeling all 4 sides of a container as well as it's lid.  That way no matter which way you store the box, you always know what is in it.  

(Clear containers go a long way to clearing up the mystery as well)

Like with Like

You will see this organizing adage a lot. Like with like in the garage can mean that when you are ready to wash the car, do home repairs, or get dirty in the garden all the tools & hardware you need to complete your project is all together & ready to go.

Doesn't that sound nice?

Garage Week - TIP #1 Go Vertical!

GARAGES

TIP #1


Think Vertical

Running out of room for your most expensive sports equipment - your car?

Don't forget that vertical storage is a great alternative to parking on the street. 
 Put things you use the most often at an accessible height, & seasonal equipment that is seldom accessed higher.

And park your car inside!

Use Your Space

TIP #1




LIKE WITH LIKE


This organizing adage applies well to your clothes. 

Start off with similar items (shirts with shirts, slacks with slacks, etc.)   Sort those similar item category into like colors (black shirts with black shirts, jeans with jeans).  


If you get really OCD you can even sort into more specific categories (tanks, short sleeved, long sleeved or shorts, capris, slacks).
