You might think that you need a large storage space to hold all the clutter you want to remove. When you follow these steps from Get Organized, you may find that you’ll simply need a smaller and less expensive space to store your belongings:

• Make A List: Take note of all the items you absolutely need for the long term. This includes anything you use seasonally or occasionally, such as winter and summer clothing or sporting equipment.
• Donate Or Recycle: Remove anything that is old, outdated, or unwanted for donation or recycling. Old clothes, books, furniture, and even electronics can be donated to charity. Items that are damaged or unusable in any way can be recycled.

• Rarely Used Items: Anything that is infrequently used should be properly packed and labeled. Decide if these are packages that should go into your storage space or if you have space in your home to keep them, such as in the basement or attic.
• Determine Your Storage Needs: Once you have pared down your possessions and have thrown out or donated any unwanted items, look for a storage facility that has the space you need. Consider if you need a unit that is climate controlled, and ask if there are any discounts available. Remember to keep a list of all your belongings that will go into storage.
• Organize Your Storage: Put any rarely used items in the back, since that area will be harder to access. Your more frequently used articles should be in the front so you can reach them when you need them.
• Get Insurance: Any possessions in storage may not be covered by your home insurance. This means you may need to purchase additional insurance to protect your property in case of theft, vandalism, or environmental related damage.
• Keep Track Of Payments: Avoid late fees, storage unit lock-outs, and lease cancellations with timely payments. You may even get a discount if you agree to make automatic or scheduled payments.
