PURGE YOUR ATTIC!

Now that the weather is getting nicer (not too hot, yet) this is a great month to venture into your attic and see what is lurking.

It is time to purge the items in this space that you have not used in the past year. If time and schedules do not permit you to do this on a weekend day, then take one small area in your attic at a time with your goal of completing this task by the end of the month.

Group the items in your attic that are alike together; such as Christmas/holiday decorations, winter snow gear, luggage, camping gear, etc. This will make it easier to locate when you need them.

Remember to keep in mind that if you have not used the item in over a year, you are probably not going to. Give the items that are still in good condition to a local shelter or to someone you know who will use them on a regular basis.

If you take the time to purge your attic once a year, then that space will not be so overwhelming and you will feel good about having that area of your home free of unused STUFF!
