Start The School Year Without Any Clutter In The House

The best way to start the school year is with a mission statement. That mission statement should set out all the goals that you and your kids want to accomplish in the course of the school year. That mission statement can also include the approach to take for homework. Setting up a dedicated time for homework each day will ensure that it gets done. It will also help to create an environment around the house that supports all the hard work to come. That means keeping things organized and keeping the clutter out.

To avoid scrambling every morning, it helps to have the clutter gone from bedroom closets. That will make it easier to find school outfits. They can also be clutter that is piled up around an area where you want to set up a homework task. Getting rid of this kind of clutter is a job for Junk King Columbus. These the junk hauling pros that can help you get rid of all the unwanted stuff your home in a single session.

Decide and Book

First, you need to decide what you want gone. Going through the closets with your kids will be a chance for them to try on all their outfits to see what fits and what can be handed over to the Junk King team. That will also provide you with a good shopping list!

After you have decided what you want to get rid of, you can book your session with Junk King. All that Junk King asks is that you set aside a two-hour window on a day that works best for your calendar. It certainly won’t take two hours to clear out the things you want to get rid of. But that provides a buffer for the crews to get from one appointment to the next.

Are you ready to start the school year without any clutter in your home? Then you’re ready to book a decluttering session with Junk King Columbus.

Clean Out The Closets For Back-To-School Time

One of the best habits to get into for back-to-school is having outfits picked out for the school day on the night before. That way there shouldn’t be any discussions or “fittings” on a school morning. That will certainly make things go a lot quicker. This is also the kind of habit that can stick with a kid throughout their life and make sure that they’re always on time. Picking out those outfits will also be aided by making sure there is a minimum amount of excess clutter in those closets.

As you are all too well aware of it is easy to go into the closet for one outfit and end up spending an hour trying on other items. There are plenty of outfits, jackets, sweaters, shoes and other articles of clothing in your kids closets that they had outgrown. There’s no reason to hold onto those things. One session with Junk King Columbus can help get your closets clear for back-to-school time.

A Lot of Sorting

It might take a lot of sorting to go through your entire closet. To make sure this is an effective process you should literally pull out every item to go through them one at a time. Once all the clothing is removed you will be able to have better access to all the things that might be on the floor the closet or up on the shelf. That should be part of the sorting process to. You never know what you might discover! When the sorting is done you could be looking at a significant pile of clothing. That is what Junk King will be able to pick up right on the spot.

If you want to continue your sorting, then you can turn your attention to the garage and basement. There are probably a lot of boxes and shelves that are holding onto more things you don’t need around the house. Anytime you can get rid of clutter you will be improving your living environment. That is always a great goal for anytime of the year but especially during the back-to-school transition.

Let Junk King Columbus help you get your closets and home clear of clutter starting today.

Good Advice For Back-To-School Season

One of the best things that parents can do to get their kids ready for school is to set the morning alarms early once again. They might complain about waking up early but it’s better to get those body clocks reset when it doesn’t matter vs when everyone is making a mad dash to get out of the house and to school in time for that first bell. Here’s some more good advice to put into action for your back-to-school season:

Make an After-school Plan

This is important if there is a gap between when the parents come home and when the kids are let out of school. There are many after-school programs available to provide a safe place to fill in that gap. If you’re fortunate to be home with the kids, then it is important to provide them with a healthy snack before dinner and get them started on homework. Of course, if a kid is active in after-school programs like sports or drama, then this gap will always be filled.

Cut Back on TV & Video Games

Summer is always the time for more TV and video games. Now that school is back in session, those two commodities should be more of a reward than a habit. The only time they should get activated is when homework is done. Even then, there should be a cut off time. The focus is on the books now.

Get Checkups Done

If you have done so already, then try to schedule your kid’s physical exam, dental checkup and eye exam. You want to get all the vaccinations out of the way before school starts and make sure they’re clear to participate in sports if that is what they want to do.

Get Organized

It’s not a bad idea to set up some sort of “in box” for your family. This is where all the school paperwork that needs to be filled out and signed can go. There should also be a dedicated homework zone that is free of distractions and clutter. Up in the bedrooms, the closets need to be decluttered as well. Too much time is wasted looking for things to wear especially when you have to sort through all the things they’re never going to wear again. Junk King Columbus can be a big help with all of this decluttering. They’ll send over a pair of movers and a big truck capable of holding whatever you want to get rid of whether that is bags of old clothing or bedroom furniture that has been outgrown. The kind of decluttering help that Junk King Columbus can provide will make a big difference for your back-to-school season.

“Old school” back to school shopping often meant crowding into the nearest office supply or drug store on the first day of school. This often made these stores look like “black Friday” as families rush to stock up the backpacks. Today, schools have gotten a lot more sophisticated. Lists of needed supplies are emailed out weeks ahead of the first day. A savvy shopper can click around with that list and have everything bought online and delivered within a couple of days. Job done. High school bound kids could also benefit from advance emails by getting a lot of reading accomplished before that first day. You might also discover that many schools welcome laptops in the classroom. This is actually a good thing because the job your kid will eventually land will no doubt involve computers. The more they can use them for study, the better off they’ll be down the road.

Of course, there are some things about back to school that won’t ever change. Top of the list will be that sense of relief you have as you can regain control of your house. With the kids in school, you can get back to your routines and tackle some serious decluttering. As you take the time to walk through your house, make note of all the things you could get rid of if you had someone else doing the lifting and loading. Also, remember that those movers will have a huge truck capable of holding an entire home’s worth of furniture. In other words, there won’t be any limitation on what you can get rid of.

If this past summer was the summer that your kids outgrew things, then you can call on Junk King to take those bigger objects out as well. This includes dismantling a backyard swing set or sandbox. You might have had to swap out toddler furniture for teen furniture. Everything gets loaded on the back of the Junk King truck. You’ll be provided with an estimate based on how much space all that junk will take up on the back of the truck. It is volume not weight for Junk King.
