Organizing your basement and other home storage areas is hard work! As a Provo Utah based professional home organizer, I have helped my Utah Valley and other Utah located clients organize these spaces for many years. Imagine going into your garage, attic, basement or storage shed without tripping over your belongings. Are you so overwhelmed with clutter in these areas***you simply do not know where to begin? The reason?

  • These are the areas of your home that you store the stuff you seldom use.
  • You will need to find a storage place for everything you choose to keep. IT IS A BIG PROJECT.

My Three S’s Organizing Formula:

1st–Study the Area (Think)
2nd–Strategize (Plan)
3rd—Systemize to Organize (Do)

Remember, organizing your basement, as well as these other home areas, is a great organizing project for your whole family. Your work will move faster if you involve them. Let’s begin by discussing your basement as an example. Each of the other home storage areas can be organized in the same way.

Organizing Your Basement

When you Study you need to decide what in your basement space IS working and what IS NOT working. You also need to decide which stored basement items are most essential to you.

Next, you move into the “where you want to go” portion of your undertaking. Strategize or create a dream and a plan. Here you decide on WHERE particular categories will be stored and how to best use all the space you have available for organizing your basement.

Finally we move into the Systemize to Organize component of my formula. We actually get in and begin the work. My five point SPARK formula will help you move through the necessary steps to organizing your basement or ANY home  storage space.

  1. Sort
  2. Purge
  3. Assign a Home
  4. Round up Containers
  5. Keep it up

Once again, imagine being able to go into your garage, attic, basement or storage shed and quickly find what you need. Isn’t that a marvelous thought? You now have the formula. Give it a try.
