Whether it’s your walk-in closet or home office, once you start an organizing project, you can sometimes get bogged down trying to figure out where everything needs to go. Sometimes items you want to get rid of get mixed up with the items you want to keep. Everything ends up in scattered piles and the whole organizing project turns into chaos.

Try this sorting solution using Bankers Boxes:

1. Label a box “Donate” for items you can’t use, but someone else will. It will be easier to move all these items at once when they’re in a box and transport them to a donation center.

2. Label additional boxes by room for where kept items will end up. For example: closet, basement, garage, etc.

3. You may also have a box of items going into storage. Simply fill the boxes, label and stack for transport to your storage facility.

Now donations are packed up for drop off, all your other belongings have a place to go in your house, and everything else is labeled and ready for long-term storage. A little organization goes a long way.
