You are expecting to have a lot of fun with your family. However, you are worried about your garage because it is a mess. You know that you have to get it organized because it is where bikes, toys, tools and other very important equipment are. The garage must also be organized because kids will go there and you don’t want them to get hurt. Here is a 3-step guide that you should follow to organize your garage before the holidays begin;

1. Create zones

Zones will help you organize your garage well. Label the different zones to show what will be stored in them. Create a zone for toys, bikes, tools and everything else present in your garage. This helps to eliminate the possibility of a mix up of things. Everyone will know the exact location of different things.

2. Sort out things

This is the stage that will consume a lot of your time. Put everything where it is supposed to be. To make things easy, pull everything out of the garage so that you can take them back and put them in their respective zones.

3. Prioritize

The things that are going to be used on a regular basis should not be placed further than those that are used on a regular basis. This will help to ensure that people don’t interfere with the things that are used rarely while trying to retrieve what they want to use. Also, the heavier items should be placed below the lighter ones.

Follow these steps to get your garage organized before the holidays. Organizing the garage not only helps to make things easy for everyone, but it also helps to make your garage a safer place to be in.
