PROCESS STEP 2: SCHEDULE IT Put your tasks into your calendar. * When are you running errands? * When are you making calls? * When are you doing things at home? If it's not scheduled, it lingers. PROCESS STEP 3: GET IT OUT You already decided what everything is. Now you move it. 1. Bag Up * Put items into bags, bins, or boxes * Keep post-its attached with destinations * Place items in your car or near the exit 2. Clean Up * Sweep, wipe down, clear surfaces * Remove trash * Reset the space This is where it shifts from "project" to "usable space." 3. Show Up * Take a photo or video of your finished garage * Acknowledge the result * Capture the transformation XO, Amber ➡️ To join my free 2-day workshop click HERE [https://declutteryourchaos.com/workshop].
