Dear Garage, You Deserve Better
By the Eazy Peazy Downsizing Team
Dear Garage,
I know it’s been a while since I showed you any love. Sure, I see you briefly in the mornings before I head out, but I know I’ve been neglecting your space the rest of the day. I want to make it up to you and promise from this day forward, you will be my top priority.
I know I need to decide what our relationship is all about. I don’t want you to be the place where I dump clutter and remnants from a past life. No sir. I first recognize you are a brilliant space to store my beloved vehicle – you’re so talented at that – but you’re also a room that contains useful items. I really desire that our space be sleekly organized so I can find items with ease. How does that sound?
Now that we know how to recover our starry-eyed friendship, dearest garage, let’s set a date to get this work done. I am sincerely requesting Monday, July 20, for its completion. We are also going to use the S.P.A.C.E. method of organizing ourselves, advancing onward. First, we will SORT, followed by PURGING and then ASSIGNING a home for each item. For instance, that far corner can become the sports gear area; the long wall would be a great place for our tools and how about the west corner housing my rakes and shovels. CONTAINERIZE comes next. I plan to use a bench and totes, plus make good use of your tall vertical wall space and apply handy hooks. Finally, I assure you that I will EVALUATE this process every new season. You mean the world to me, and I want to show you I mean business.
The thought of organizing our garage space is sweet music to my ears, and I hope you will feel adored too.
Until we meet again soon,
Yours truly…
