It motivate yourself, make it your goal to park your car in your garage. This way, you get a reward after the project is done. Come on, you can do it. I know you can.
Here are some examples of areas to clear clutter in your garage.

Garage organizing helps your home stay organized because, as we all know, the garage holds all the items that we don't want in the house. So, if we have it organized, we will know what needs to go and what needs a home and it won't be a dumping ground for anything and everything. How did the project go? Were you able to fit your car in your garage? Leave a comment below.
