Like an organizing job, it all begins with a clean slate. I know, you’re wondering what you got yourself into but it’s time to clean up the mess you made. Start by cleaning out your entire vehicle. Front seat, back, even the trunk – get rid of all of the clutter. One way to keep the trash from piling up is to check the trash each time you fill up. Most gas stations have garbage cans just inches from the pump. So, next time you fill up – dump the trash or recycle anything you’re hoarding in your vehicle.

Now that it’s clean – keep it that way. The most important trick to keep your vehicle organized is keeping it clean in the first place. So, how do you do that? Create a plan that works for you and stick to it. Whether that is cleaning out your vehicle each time you fill up the pump or each time you arrive home from the grocery store. Make a plan and execute it – don’t fall back.

Choose organizational tools that will help you succeed! Whether you choose a shower caddy to keep your fluids and oils from tipping over in your trunk or an accordion folder to keep your paperwork organized – find tools that you like and get your items organized. I personally choose these two life hacks, plus I like to use a back seat media organizer to hang on the back of my front seats. The most important trick is to find what works for you and give all your items a home to live. Also, get in the habit of taking at least one thing with you when you exit your vehicle. This will help with the clutter and keep it to a minimum!
