Our vehicles tend to collect items as we go from work to home, running errands and taking the children where they need to be.
Garbage collects, clothing, recycles, things that need to be taken somewhere and more. Although with the pandemic and the lock down your use of your vehicle may have changed depending on what you do. However, we are still using them and sometimes they are the last thing we think about as far as cleaning and organizing.
We have a collection of things we need in our vehicle; snacks, cushions for the dog, blankets for use with children, pets or just to protect the seat, hand sanitizer, masks, sunglasses, first aid kit and more.
A few minutes each day or week will save you time.
Here are a few tips to help you simplify:
Clear trash regularly, just take out at the end of day and have everyone else take theirs. I have a soft side trash receptacle in my car that just hangs on the shifter. This is great for small items such as tissue, candy wrappers, snack wrappers and more. Over the seat organizers are great for small children. They hang on the back of the front seats and hold activity books, crayons, snacks etc. Also just a small plastic bin with a lid on the seat is great. Small items like extra hand sanitizer, masks, sunglasses, serviettes, tissue - make easily accessible but in a small zip bag so it does not fly all over. Coins in a small container in the console for when you need them. Make your trunk area a storage place for reusable shopping totes, blankets, first aid kit, bottled water, sports equipment - put in bins to make compartments, makes it easy for cleaning and things will not move around so much Plan to clean regularly so that the air is clear of dust, smells and odours.
Taking care of your car not only makes it enjoyable for you to be in, but it sets a good example for your children and other people that ride in your vehicle that you take care of your valuable possession.
To successfully keep organized during a renovation,
it is best to prepare before the renovation begins.
Please, don't just start filling boxes and piling in a storage box, locker or basement.
Decide before you start where/how you are storing your items. Try to keep as much in the same area. Declutter; Sell or donate and items you do not want coming back into your space. Box items together you know you will not need during the renovation. i.e. decor items. Box and clearly label items that you may need to access during the renovation. When you place these boxes into your designated storage area, place them according to how likely or when you will need them. When you are renovating a kitchen or bathroom and you may need to set up a temporary kitchen or bathroom somewhere in the house. Be a minimalist when you do this. Accept that you don't need everything you currently have in these areas and only keep out the essentials. Plan to go over the expected end date. Plan for seasons change or other life transitions could happen during the renovation. Pack a separate box for the just in case items. For example, when renovating a bedroom or closets and the weather could change, make sure you have access to some weather appropriate clothing. Living in a renovation is disruptive, but it does not have to be overwhelming. Plan ahead, purge, and LABEL and you will have less stress and upheaval.
