As an organizer I have some issues with storage. As I watch more and more storage facilities being built I wonder, what are we storing?!
I think storage has its place; like during a renovation, in between homes/moving, temporary travel. Business storage makes sense if the company is paying for it and the contents justify the storage fees.
If you have storage because you have too much stuff with no end date in mind, you need to ask yourself some serious questions. What I am storing? How long have I been storing it? How often do I visit my storage unit? How many dollars have I spent on storage? Do the dollars I have spent exceed the value of the contents being stored?
A small storage unit is easily a vacation in an all inclusive per year!
If you are storing your grandmother’s china because you love it, why isn’t it in your home being used? If you are storing your grandmother’s china due to family obligation, pass it on!
Rethink your storage situation. If you think out of sight is out of mind, calculate what you have invested to date, and think again.
To your clutter free life!
