Fresh Start Mindset
There’s something about a new year that makes us crave a reset—but getting organized doesn’t have to mean buying all new bins or turning your house upside down.
This year, let’s take a gentler approach.
Getting organized is really about creating space for what matters—your time, your energy, and your peace of mind. And one of our favorite ways to do that? Reusing and thrifting smart storage finds from Goodwill®.
Before you buy anything:
• Walk through your home and notice what feels heavy or cluttered
• Pick one area to focus on (a closet, pantry, or entryway)
• Let go of perfection—progress counts
👉 Ready to start? Browse your local Goodwill for baskets, bins, and shelves that give old items new purpose.
👉 For more inspiration, follow us on social media for organizing tips, thrift finds, and real-life ideas you can use right away.
You don’t need more stuff—you just need the right setup.
Declutter First, Organize Second
Before we talk storage bins and baskets, there’s one important step that makes everything easier:
Decluttering first.
Organizing clutter just hides the problem—it doesn’t solve it. Try this simple method:
- Take everything out of the space
- Sort into: Keep, Donate, Toss
- Be honest–if you didn’t use it last year, ask yourself if you’ll really use it this year (no shame in keeping those skis if you didn’t ski last year due to no snow)
Here’s the best part: the items you no longer need can go straight to Goodwill®, where they’ll stay out of the landfill and support job training and community programs.
Drop off your donations today! Your decluttering can make a real impact.
Once you’ve cleared the excess, you’ll actually know what kind of storage you need (and how much of it).

Thrifting Smart Organization Finds
You don’t need expensive containers to get organized—some of the best storage solutions are hiding in plain sight at your local Goodwill®.
Here’s what to keep an eye out for:
• Baskets (perfect for closets, shelves, and toys)
• Glass jars for pantries and bathrooms
• Drawer dividers and small bins
• Shelving units and bookcases
• Trays for keys, mail, and daily essentials
Pro thrifting tips:
✔ Stick to neutral colors for a cohesive look
✔ Buy slightly more than you think you need (you can always donate back)
✔ Think creatively—one item can serve many purposes
👉 Visit your local Goodwill to find one-of-a-kind organizing pieces at a fraction of the cost.
👉 Check us out on Pinterest to get inspiration on how to turn real thrift finds into beautiful, functional pieces.
Organizing this way isn’t just affordable—it’s sustainable and personal.
Systems That Stick
Real talk: the goal isn’t a perfectly organized home—it’s a home that works for you.
Here’s how to make your new systems last:
• Give everything a “home”
• Use open bins for frequently used items
• Keep a donation bag handy for quick edits
• Do a 10-minute weekly reset
When organizing feels easy, staying organized becomes a habit—not a chore.
👉 Keep a donation bag ready and drop it at your local Goodwill® whenever it fills up.
👉 Shop Goodwill when you need storage solutions that are affordable and sustainable.
👉 Follow us on social media for encouragement, tips, and real-life organizing wins.
