Monthly home organizing tips that relate to the time of year
January is Get-Organized Month.
It’s time to get ready for the cold weather.
"Winterize" the outside of your home. Bring your outside potted plants inside the house. Store garden and lawn care equipment, as well as outdoor recreational equipment (bicycles, sports equipment, etc.), in the garage, basement, or shed. Maximize the space in your garage by storing things on shelves, and hanging things from hooks on the ceiling and walls (you can install tool racks and peg boards on walls to hold hooks).
It’s back-to-school time.
Set up a system that involves preparation the night before workdays/schooldays: make lunches, pick out clothing and accessories, and put things to take to work/school in briefcases/book bags so they're ready to go the next morning. It also helps to establish a consistent place to keep briefcases/book bags.
