By now we're all ready for spring to arrive but winter seems determined to hang around just a bit longer. Instead of bemoaning the lingering cold take this opportunity to knock out a few more at home projects that will get you ready to enjoy spring. You're probably already thinking about spring flowers, picnics and other outdoor activities. If you take a little time to prepare now you'll be able to enjoy these activities more once the weather cooperates. Keep reading for some tips on how Stockpile simple inventory system can help you get ready for spring.
- Focus on your favorites. You're already dreaming about all the fun things you're going to do as soon as it warms up outside. Go ahead and focus on your favorites and what you need to enjoy those activities. If you're just now implementing Stockpile, starting small is a great way to get to know the system. Choose one activity and add the items you regularly use. Then move on to your next most popular activity and so on, on down the line. Entering items in Stockpile is so quick and easy you'll be amazed by how much you can get done in a short time.
- Organize. If your garage, attic, or storage shed is a scary place you may need some organizational help. When we put things away in a hurry we tend to just dump them somewhere out of way, hoping that we'll be able to locate them later. "A place for everything and everything in its place" isn't just a fun saying. It's actually a great idea. Having a place to store things makes it easier to put them away. Organizing like items together makes it easier to find them when you need them.
- Keep records. How many times have you been delayed leaving because you couldn't find something you needed? It happens to all of us from time to time. You can't remember where you stored stuff at the end of last season because you haven't used it in months. You forgot that you discarded something because it didn't last the entire season and needs to be replaced. Relying on our memories is a faulty system at best. If you organize your items and create records in Stockpile you won't have that problem. Once items are entered all it takes is a few clicks to find exactly where something is stored. Often items are used for multiple activities so you can't store them all together. Thanks to areas and locations you'll always know where to find what you need. Even if it's stored out of sight.
- Get rid of stuff that doesn't work. Most people have a little bit of packrat in them. We hate to throw stuff away so we hang on to things that have passed their usefulness. Be honest with yourself. If you haven't used it in a year, you're probably not going to use it again. Let it go. You may think that hanging on to unused items will save you money down the road, but in reality it's costing you. The more clutter you have, the harder it is to find the things you need when you need them. If items are stored improperly they are more likely to become damaged or broken. If you replace items that you already own because you forgot that you have them you are wasting money. Get rid of the stuff that you don't use so that you can actually enjoy the things you use.
