It’s April, and we’re organizing garages again. Need some inspiration? It doesn’t have to take all day. We spent 4 hours with only 2 people, and did this.

Want some DIY Garage Organizing tips?

1. Coral the wheelies. We used patterned duck tape to create parking lanes for the bikes. You might not be able to see it, but it’s “peace sign” duct tape, because we want peace in the garage!

2. We’re looking into this solution for those evil little razor scooters. But for now, we’re stashing them in the party tub. It’s not perfect, but it gives something for the kids to shoot for.

3. What’s the last step in our how to organize SPACE formula? Say it with me. Establish a maintenance plan. In this case, label the heck out of it. We used self-stick card stock to labels both the gear bins and the shelves they go on. Putting away should be a snap.

Very little got thrown out in this garage, but what did go will get donated. Not feeling the organizing mojo yet? Here’s a great excuse to get on it: Your donation of used clothing or household goods to Goodwill helps create jobs directly in your community. You get a tax deduction, and the community gets services.  Calculate your donation impact. (https://donate.goodwill.org/) The results might surprise you.

That’s right: Donate Stuff. Create Jobs. Your donations support people who are seeking to earn jobs and build careers. See how it works in this video.

The weekend’s coming. I hear it’s going to be biking weather soon. Give me a shout out when you organize your garage. I’d love to see your finished project!
