Summer sneaks up all too quickly every year, and at NEAT Method, we think an organized start to the season will help elevate your fun and ease your stress!  Here are a few quick and easy projects to set your summer up for success:

1. Food Storage - if you're anything like my family, we do a lot of potlucks, snacks on the go, and picnics at the playground during warmer weather. Take ten minutes to tackle your food storage drawer! Make sure all containers have lids and implement drawer dividers to keep baggies in place.

2. Coat Closet - Have an extra 15 minutes? Go through your family's coats - edit out anything that's worn, no longer fits, or you just don't like. Swap the hangers to match and tuck heavier coats all the way in the back since you won't need them for quite a few months!

3. Sun + Bugs - When the days get longer, it feels like sunscreen and bug spray always need to be at the ready. Go through what you have, toss anything expired, and put them in labeled and easy-to-access bins. Your family will thank you for the effort!

4. Travel - If your summer vacation is coming up, now is the time to dust off your duffles. Ensure your suitcases are in good working order now - that way, you'll have time to repair or replace essential pieces.  Contain packing bags, chargers, and other small travel essentials in a labeled bin with a lid. Packing will be a breeze!

And remember – an organized summer is an easy summer!
