Less Labor, More Relaxation: Labor Day Home-Organizing Tips

Written By Raelea Burkett

Labor Day weekend is a wonderful time to relax, enjoy family and friends, and celebrate the unofficial end of summer. A little organizing before and after the holiday can help you spend less time working and more time enjoying your home.

Before the Holiday

Prepare your most-used spaces before guests arrive:

  • Clear the entryway so guests have room for shoes, bags, and personal items.

  • Remove unnecessary items from kitchen counters and check your serving supplies.

  • Create a beverage and snack station to reduce traffic in the kitchen.

  • Tidy the patio, backyard, or barbecue area and place outdoor supplies within easy reach.

  • Set up labeled bins for trash and recycling.

  • Prepare a basket with extra napkins, sunscreen, insect repellent, and outdoor essentials.

Focus on the areas your guests will use rather than trying to organize the entire house.

After the Holiday

A simple post-holiday reset will help you begin the new week feeling organized:

  • Return serving dishes, decorations, and outdoor supplies to their designated places.

  • Wash and store table linens and reusable food containers.

  • Clear leftovers from the refrigerator and discard expired food.

  • Empty trash and recycling containers.

  • Put away extra chairs, coolers, games, and entertaining supplies.

  • Take 15 minutes to reset the kitchen and main gathering areas.

As you put things away, notice which items were useful and which ones created extra work. Donate duplicates and discard broken or worn-out supplies before storing everything for next year.
