2. Garage Overhaul
Develop some hang-ups: Start by moving everything in this middle area — lawn chairs, hoses, extension cords — up onto the wall hooks (assuming you’ve got some). Hanging not an option? Line things up against the walls.
Organize garage bins: No need for fancy containers. Use what you’ve got: flowerpots and planters (good for collecting pruners and stray gardening gloves), an empty garbage can or two (for long-handled brooms, baseball bats, and hockey sticks), and a laundry basket (perfect for gear like balls and helmets).
Bag it: Next, open two trash sacks. Into one, toss anything broken, empty, or rusty; that can go in this week’s garbage. Use the other bag to hold things that are in the garage but really belong in the house (not that you have to put everything in its place at once).
