(Ventura County, CA) January 07, 2022 – As you head into a new calendar year, your local PODS® wants to help you make a fresh start in 2022. According to James Gregory, a clinical psychologist, clearing out clutter can positively affect your psychological state, increase focus, and minimize stress. Additionally, in 2021, more people spent time decluttering, cleaning, and repurposing items at home to minimize waste.
To help its customers recover from the busyness of the holidays, local PODS® Moving and Storage offers ideas about how to organize your home for the New Year.
- Repurpose your egg cartons to store away your holiday ornaments. As a bonus, you can stack the cartons safely in PODS Moving & Storage containers.
- Holiday lights. Holiday gifts typically come with a lot of boxes and cardboard. Save some excess cardboard and wrap your string lights around them to prevent them from getting tangled in storage.
- Tackle the Kitchen.After the holidays, your fridge and pantry have likely been left unattended for too long. Go through any holiday treats, check for expiration dates, toss out any old and uneaten leftovers, and clean it out for the new year.
- Donate or Sell. If you don’t use it, donate or sell it. Organize your belongings by sentimental value and prune the items you no longer need. Local PODS®offers secure, climate-controlled warehouses to store those sentimental items you are not ready to part with. For the items you are ready to sell, you can utilize Facebook Marketplace, NextDoor, Poshmark, or Ebay.
