In this video I am taking the floor to show you my own garage floor and the steps and pitfalls involved in the process we used. You just may be floored by the results.

Laundry Baskets are for Transport, Not STORAGE!

Lorie Marrero — Mon, 14 May 2012 18:28:59 -0500

I have 4-5 laundry baskets that we use for sorting and such during the whole process. Last week I was looking for one to take a load out of the dryer, and there were NONE. (Actually I rarely even do laundry and this was an exception-- see my previous post "Never Do Laundry Again.")

I asked my teenage son if he knew where they were, and of course, they were ALL in his room! He was living out of them, dressing out of them in the mornings. This prompted me to say, "Laundry baskets are for transport, not for STORAGE!" And then I went into another room and cracked up laughing at myself.

But it's true! The idea is that you have a closet and drawers to contain your clean, ready-to-wear clothing, and you take just a few brief minutes to put those away. If you have trouble getting this done, my recommendation is to time yourself doing it. You will probably find that it takes about 3 minutes or less to put the laundry away! It also takes about that same amount of time to fold a load of clothing from the dryer. Timing yourself is a great way to squash the idea that it's such a dreaded "CHORE" to do.

Clutter Video Tip: Options for Garage Storage Cabinets

Lorie Marrero — Wed, 09 May 2012 17:36:28 -0500

An organized garage, the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship, Clutter Diet... to boldly go where no man has gone before. We don't need a Vulcan mind meld to know that almost all garages could use built in storage. A good multipurpose cabinet would be just the thing for storing your phazers and tribbles. In this video I am showing you my built in storage as well as sharing some things to look out for when you shop for your own. Thinking early about cabinet quality and garage shelf design will make the "Enterprise" of garage organizing much less stressful. May your garage Trek help you live long and prosper. ;)
