Clean out and back up the cars – because we are going to FILL them!
Designate one car for donations and one for items that need to be delivered, returned or consigned.
Next decide how long you have to work on this project at ONE time.
If you have 2 hours or more – EMPTY the garage. You know it’s true. Once the items are OUT of the garage it is as easy to donate them as it is to put them back in the garage.
The garage houses all of the future projects we “think” we are going to do.
The biggest work you are going to do is DECIDE if you really are going to do those ideas and projects.
In the podcast I talk about how I no longer have flower gardens, why I easily donate items we have purchased and never used and how we need better tools.
It’s a funny listen. And will keep you going while you declutter guilt and expectations in the form of flower pots and old sporting equipment.
Check your storage solutions.
Now is the time to invest in a few plastic shelving units to organize what you have left and buy organizers specific to what YOU have in your garage.
Keep going! You can do this!
Keep decluttering all the way until March 31!!
I want you to focus on decluttering and your Sunday Basket this month so…

Lisa Woodruff is the founder & CEO of Organize 365®.
Lisa, along with 87% of America, believes organization is a learnable skill. Yet less than 18% of those same Americans feel they are organized. Through The Productive Home Solution course, Lisa aims to teach Americans young and old the skill of organizing and unlocking their time for what they are uniquely created to do.
As the host of the top-rated Organize 365® Podcast (which has 17 million downloads and counting) Lisa shares strategies for reducing the overwhelm, clearing the mental clutter, and living a productive and organized life. Her sensible and doable organizing tasks appeal to multiple generations. Her candor and relatable personality make you feel as though she is right there beside you; helping you get organized as you laugh and cry together.
Under Lisa’s direction, Organize 365® has conducted academic research establishing the definitions of housework, home organization and the weight of paper in the American home. This ongoing research is making the invisible work at home visible to all. The goal is to eliminate it and free people from the monotonous tasks of daily living; and unlock their time for what they are uniquely created to bring forth in the world.
She is the author of four books including: How ADHD Affects Home Organization and The Paper Solution. Lisa’s understanding of the lived female American experience has helped her to create products & courses like the Sunday Basket®. These products and courses externalize the routine tasks that take up the executive functioning capacity of our brains; freeing us up to think and create again!
