Pick Your Process

Maeve Richmond, of Maeve's Method, likes doing the easiest things first, like gathering up recyclables or tagging items you can #donate or bring to the dump.

"If you can leave everything outside on the driveway or lawn, just cover them up with a tarp at night to fend off on-lookers and springtime rain," she says.

Richmond says the best type of storage is anything that that goes up. If your #shelving is wall or ceiling mounted, even better.
