Decluttering and organizing the garage

When tackling a cluttered and overwhelming garage, it's important to start by removing trash, followed by easy items that have a designated place in your home. By taking these initial steps, you create a more manageable space and gain confidence in the decluttering process. Next, search for items that can be easily donated or discarded. This will further reduce the amount of clutter in the garage. Once you've removed unnecessary items, focus on consolidating similar items within the space. This helps to assess what you truly need and allows you to better organize and utilize the available storage. Remember, the goal is to create a space that is functional and easily accessible for the items you genuinely need.
