Daily Prompt – February 3, 2026

I love to-do lists but I don’t usually keep the long running kind, they tend to be more of a daily or weekly thing. That said, there is one thing that I keep saying we need to do here that never gets done and its just as much on me as the other 2 adults in this house and thats clean out and organize the garage.

We moved in to this house a little over a year ago and we had it a little organized for a while but never as well as it could be and it definitely needed cleaning out still. See we had a bunch of stuff in storage rooms but we got rid of those when we realized we had space for everything here and the cost was getting too high.

The organization fell apart when my husband and I went on a camping trip and took a bunch of stuff with us. When we got back there was emergency things to deal with and it never got put away properly. That was in September. There are lots of good reasons things are still a mess and that stuff hasn’t been put back or gone through. Still, it needs to be done so that we can have a more useful space and so that it doesn’t feel like one has the risk of dying or getting seriously injured by getting something from it.

I know we will get it done, probably sometime this year but I also know that as long as I keep putting it off, so will the other 2. My husband more than my partner for sure but we are all bad about it. It’s just one of those really huge tasks that feels hard to chunk down.
