Deck the Halls, Not the Garage: 3S Your Seasonal Storage- Because tangled lights and mystery bins don’t spark joy.

The garage often becomes the storage hub for holidays—trees, wreaths, inflatables, and boxes labeled “misc.” When seasons change, digging through the chaos can steal the magic. Enter the 3S Method—Simplify, Sort, Sustain.

Step 1: Simplify (Clear the Broken & Forgotten)

Open every bin. Toss:

• Broken ornaments and lights.

• Outdated décor you don’t love.

• Projects you never started (DIYs can be donated, too).

Step 2: Sort (Label by Season & Holiday)

Group by occasion:

• Fall & Halloween

• Winter & Christmas

• Spring & Easter

• Summer & Fourth of July

Store in clear or color-coded bins with bold labels. Keep DIY project supplies in their own tote—so you can actually finish them.

Step 3: Sustain (Make Swaps Easy)

• Rotate bins: current season in front, off-season in back.

• Take 5 minutes when you put away décor—fix labels, toss broken items.

• Post a note: “Decor bin = only décor, not random storage.”

15-Minute Win (Quick Start Today)

Pick one holiday—say, Christmas. Open the bin, toss what’s broken, and relabel. Done. That’s a clutter-free season waiting for you.

Imagine opening your garage and pulling down one clearly labeled bin, instead of a weekend-long hunt. That’s the 3S Method in action. Access the full Garage Reset Calendar and more practical small-space resets in the Hopeful Simplicity Library—all for just $9/month.
