Austin, Texas -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/31/2006 --With Father’s Day approaching, our thoughts turn to the perfect gift for Dad. Look no further than your own garage! Even though over $800 million was spent on garage organizing products in 2005, according to Packaged Facts, a market research firm, “the average American two-car garage has become a no-car garage, because it is crammed full of so much clutter,” says Barry Izsak, author of Organize Your Garage in No Time (Que).

This book has quickly become the homeowner’s bible used to tackle this overwhelming home organization project that seems to get put off indefinitely. Izsak reminds us not to try and tackle 20 years of clutter in a day, but to break the job down into small, manageable pieces, so we don’t defeat ourselves before we even get started. Other tips offered by Izsak include:

• Make the easy decisions first and begin discarding the obvious items you want to get rid of.
• Divide your garage into zones to store your tools, sporting goods and lawn and garden supplies.
• Store things off the floor to keep them dry and make it easier to keep your garage clean.
• If you haven’t used most items in 2 years, sell, donate or give them away.

Barry Izsak, author of Organize Your Garage in No Time, is President of the National Association of Professional Organizers and owner of ARRANGING IT ALL in Austin, Texas.
