Reclaim your garage

The garage is usually where we toss everything that doesn’t have a place in our home. If you find yourself using your garage as a receptacle, it’s likely you haven’t resolved all your organizing challenges within the home — or that your garage needs a serious overhaul. Reclaim your garage with the help of our organized to-do list from professional organizer Vicki Norris.

1. Set aside enough time to work on the project.

2. Don’t tackle it by yourself.

3. Categorize the items in your garage.

4. Group the garage’s contents.

5. Donate or throw out items that don’t fit the categories.

6. Determine the best garage layout.

7. Install built-in cabinets or modular storage if needed.

8. Put items in their new places.

9. Set an organizing schedule.
