Divide your home in to zones
Sleep zones - Often a quick pick-up of clothing and personal items is all that's needed. Keep a box or bag handy to toss in items to donate as you go. Anything that hasn't been worn or used for a year or two should be considered for donation.
Play and relaxing zones - Look for broken toys and furniture that need disposed of. Add donation items to your donation box and place broken items in a pile for the trash. Gather important bills and paperwork that need storing and place in a safe spot for moving to a storage system.
Storage zones - The best storage system is the one that is easy for your family to use. If your current set up isn't working it may be time to empty those closets and garage and start fresh with a new system. Most home improvement stores carry storage systems so that you can customize your system to the items that you'll be storing.
Plan for the weather
Tackle your garage and those areas without heat first before the cold weather and snow settles in. Not only will you enjoy a more favorable working environment but you'll also reduce risk of injury from moving items over frozen surfaces.
Assign tasks for the whole family
Younger kids can help out with sorting items and moving small items to the correct areas of your home. Pre-teens can be tasked with organizing items and boxing things for donation.
The more hands to help the faster the work can get done!
