Organize Your Garage to Make Use of Your Time Wisely
May 25, 2022

Are you looking for a way to pass time?
You might be in the middle of waiting for an important decision and you’re bored as hell at home not knowing what to do while you wait. You signed up for a master’s degree and are now waiting for a scholarship result until the end of the month. You applied for your dream job and are now waiting for the decision if you got accepted or not. You joined a contest and the results will be out not until next month. You applied for a bank loan to start your own business, the news of which you will hear of next week. You are waiting for your sister to return home after giving birth in the hospital. You are currently resting and have nothing to do at home.
So when you’re caught in a life in-between of your life, what do you do?
You probably have started a new hobby or learned a new skill. You have lots of time to watch tutorials on YouTube or experiment yourself to learn how to play the piano or make your own ceramics at home. You most likely got into fitness, working out every day to reach a certain body goal. You probably went on trips with your friends to destinations that have always been on your bucket list. But now you’re stuck at home with no money left to spend. You’ve watched almost everything you’re interested in on Netflix and feel like your days are being put to waste. You seek to do something meaningful, or something that simply adds value to your otherwise monotonous life.
We highly suggest that you consider decluttering. Considering that you are waiting for a major life-changing call, then now is the perfect opportunity for you to clean your home, declutter, and organize what’s left. Once the life-changing message reaches you, you’ll be able to start on a clean slate, with a refreshed and recharged mindset. You might even find tools or belongings that you would be using in a new chapter of your life. You’ll be throwing away those that don’t serve you anymore.
One area in your home that needs more attention is the garage. If you’ve cleaned it, it can serve you many purposes such as a fitness center, a workshop area, an events place, a roller skating rink, a storage space, and a lot more. But first, you have to allot a day to declutter it. Clear the whole space and categorize all the items you took out in four piles: give/donate, sell, throw, and keep. Host an online and in-person garage sale for those that you decide to sell. Keep the extra bucks or use them to buy smart storage solutions from FlexiMounts to organize what you’ll be storing in the garage. Next, allot a day to clean the whole garage from top to bottom. Start with the ceiling first all the way to the floor. Check for cracks and holes that you have to fix. Determine if you need to do a painting job. Insulate the doors. After cleaning and doing repairs, now is the time to organize the items that will be stored in the garage.
Here are smart storage solutions for things you keep in the garage:
