When the summer season kicks off, so do the best intentions. You promise yourself you’ll finally clear the garage, organize the shed, sort through that overflowing guest room, and maybe even take on a few long-postponed home projects.
But then reality hits.
Between Florida heat, vacation plans, and a schedule that fills up fast, it’s easy for your “summer project list” to turn into piles of clutter, unfinished tasks, and weekend after weekend lost to digging through old boxes and stepping over forgotten tools.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone.
The good news: You don’t need to do it all at once—and you don’t need to do it alone.
With the right tools, like a My Stack Box portable storage container, you can tackle your clutter step-by-step and finally create the breathing room you’ve been craving.
Why Summer is the Best Time to Declutter in Florida
There’s something about summer that makes us want to start fresh. Maybe it’s the longer daylight hours, or the natural urge to simplify before the school year or hurricane season rolls around.
Whatever your motivation, summer is the perfect season to declutter, reorganize, and reset your space—especially when you live in Florida, where extra room for beach gear, yard tools, and seasonal furniture is a must.
Here’s what decluttering this season can help you achieve:
-
Less stress: A tidy space = a calmer mind.
-
Better flow: Create space where you actually live, not just store things.
-
More safety: Reduce fire hazards, tripping risks, and pest problems.
-
Improved efficiency: No more searching for tools or seasonal items.
-
A cleaner look: Boost your home’s curb appeal and interior style.
Whether you’re preparing for guests, organizing after renovations, or just tired of stepping around boxes, a fresh summer reset can give your home the facelift it deserves.
What’s Standing in the Way?
Let’s be real—decluttering feels good, but getting started can feel impossible.
We procrastinate because:
-
The pile seems too big.
-
We don’t know where to begin.
-
Life gets busy.
-
We don’t have a system—or space—to work with.
That’s where My Stack Box comes in.
Our portable storage containers give you a safe, secure, and on-site place to put your stuff while you sort through the chaos. No running back and forth to a storage unit or stressing about hauling everything away in one weekend. We deliver it, you fill it, and then we either store it, move it, or leave it with you until you’re ready.
The Step-by-Step Guide to a Successful Summer Declutter
Here’s how to tackle your clutter without losing your mind (or your weekends):
1. Schedule a Dedicated Time
Set aside a full day—or even a weekend. Don’t just “fit it in.” Add it to your calendar and treat it like an appointment with your future, more organized self.
2. Pull Everything Out
Whether it’s your garage, attic, closet, or patio—empty it. Laying everything out helps you see what you’re working with and forces you to confront just how much has accumulated over time.
3. Use the Three-Pile Rule
Sort everything into:
-
Keep: Things you use often and actually need.
-
Donate/Sell: Items in good condition that someone else could use.
-
Toss/Recycle: Broken, outdated, or forgotten items you won’t realistically fix or use again.
Be ruthless. If it’s been collecting dust for years, it’s probably not worth keeping.
4. Tackle Quick Fixes
With the space cleared, now’s the time to tighten up shelving, label storage bins, fix squeaky cabinet doors, or upgrade to weatherproof storage.
5. Load Your My Stack Box
As you sort, load your “keep” items directly into your My Stack Box container. It’s right in your driveway or side yard—easy, secure, and protected from the elements. Use it to store seasonal decor, tools, patio furniture, or anything you need to keep out of the way.
6. Have a Disposal Plan
One of the biggest momentum killers is staring at a “toss” pile and not knowing what to do next. Schedule a junk pickup, donation drop-off, or community dumpster day before you start.
Common Summer Clutter Zones (and How to Tackle Them)
You’re not imagining it—some areas in Florida homes are more prone to becoming clutter catchalls. Here’s where to start:
Garages & Sheds
Old paint cans, tools, broken sprinklers, holiday lights, pool floats—it all ends up here. Sort through it, consolidate supplies, and store neatly in your container until you’re ready to use it.
Guest Rooms
These become storage zones for seasonal decor, unused furniture, and boxes labeled “later.” A My Stack Box container is a great way to actually deal with that “later.”
Patios & Side Yards
Outdoor spaces quickly become dumping grounds for broken planters, yard waste, and random bricks or tiles. Reclaim this space by storing usable items and responsibly discarding the rest.
Closets & Hallway Nooks
You’ll find everything from outgrown kids’ clothes to old electronics. Use this opportunity to finally sort through those bins and streamline your household storage.
