September is back to school month. It means several things. Summer is over, the kids are back in school, work gets more intense because everyone is back from vacation and it is a good time to look at life from a new perspective. Interestingly enough more people look at starting a new franchise in September than any other month. Once again it’s that fresh perspective that is motivating people to look at franchises.
We are going to look at this fresh perspective from the point of view of cleaning the garage. I know… yuk, who wants to spend a Saturday cleaning the garage. Sorry, but if you had kept it clean in the first place you wouldn’t have to clean it now!
Step 1. Take everything out of the garage. I know this sounds horrible but in the end it will save you time. Put it all out on the drive way.
Step 2. Organize the space before you put it back. A clean garage does not mean “Moving the Piles!” Set up your racks, cabinets, slat walls, containers, etc. in an organized manner so that you will be able to access them once the job is done.
Step 3. Leave room. The things you are going to put back are not the only things you will ever store in your garage. You are going to add to your precious collections and you will need room for expansion. The surest way to have a cluttered, unorganized garage to fill your storage spaces.
Step 4. Put it all back.
Step 5. Spend next Saturday golfing, fishing, going to a game, etc. and don’t think about the mess you should be cleaning in the garage.
Step 6. Keep it clean!
Step 7. Call Global Garage, with a newly remodeled garage you will now want to keep your fabulous space clean and organized.
