Garage Organization
I was hired last year by a Doctor who lives in the Provo / Orem area of Utah and knew he needed professional help with garage organizing. He realized that clutter is a stress creator and the condition of his garage was affecting the quality of his life. At our first meeting I asked him what pushed him to call me and he said, “I feel real frustration when I drive into my garage every day.” He realized that letting go of the excess and organizing what was left would allow him to feel more positive about his daily return home.
Because the garage is one of a few home spaces where we place our “I might need this someday” stuff, garage organizing is quite simple. When I work with clients I bring with me a list of all the possible garage organizing categories and we start sorting their items into categories purging and deleting as we go. You can organize your garage by looking at your gathered items and decide on these main categories.
Realize, that when I refer to your garage, anything that I share with you can be applied to any home storage area including your attic, basement or outdoor shed. To hear my online talk show dealing with garage organizing AND to learn my SPARK formula for organizing ANY home storage area, visit www.TheOrganizedWomanShow.com. In that show I promise you some photos of a few of my favorite garage organization products. I am always good on my promises. Here you go:
Schulte’s freedomrail line makes a complete garage storage solution.
Ceiling Shelves for storage of Yard Furniture or Holiday Decor. (pulley driven baskets to raise and lower ceiling stored items)
Tool Rack – to get tools off the garage floor.
Sporting Goods – For winter ski’s & tennis rackets – Two 1” dowel pieces cut 12 to 24” long and then anchored to a 2 X 4 wood piece and attached to the garage wall. You slide your skis in with the curved tips out and the tennis racket with the webbed net up. For Bicycles: 2 bike gravity stand $70 Bike Hoist Pulley System $25 LOW BUDET: 2 Large ceiling Cup Hooks per bike
Through garage organizing you can turn your garage into the garage of your dreams. Realize that even your home storage areas require monthly and yearly upkeep. I recommend to my clients that they get the whole family involved and plan to spend 3 hours yearly doing a purge and clean. Who knows, after YOUR garage organizing session, you may even be able to easily get your car inside. Now, wouldn’t that be delightful?
