33. Index your archives
While you are reorganizing and renovating your garage space, you may also want to take the opportunity to create an index so you can better find what you are looking for. Large plastic containers are useful, but you usually don't know what's inside until you open them.
With bulk and straightforward labels, you can create a coordinate and catalog system to organize your archives. It will help if you have stored them all in a nearby folder for comparison when it's time to get the stuff you need when you need them.
