Downsizing may be an important move to make for a number of reasons. For example, perhaps you want to downsize because your kids are grown, you are retired, and you no longer want to worry about caring for a large home. Or, perhaps you have to downsize because you need to move. Or it could be that you want to downsize in an attempt to create a more minimalist lifestyle. Whatever the reason, Chandler storage units can help to get the job done. The Benefits of Downsizing There are numerous benefits to downsizing - why have so much space, and so many things, if you don’t need either? Some of the top reasons for downsizing and putting some of your items into a Chandler storage unit include: Saving money on frivolous items; Becoming more focused on experiences, not on things; More organization and cleanliness; and Energy-saving benefits. These are just a few of the many advantages to living a more simple life. How to Downsize - Doing it Right Even if you know that you want to downsize, doing so isn’t always easy. Not only may you miss all of the space that you have grown accustomed to over the years, but you may also miss all of your personal items, too. One way to downsize correctly and to ensure that you won’t be letting go of the things that are most important for you is to make four piles: a keep, donate, throw away, and put in storage pile. Keep. You should keep the items that are most important to you close you to. In addition to the necessities (furniture, dishware, etc.), you may also consider keeping family photographs, favorite pieces of art or trinkets, and favorite clothing. Donate. The things that you no longer need, do not hold a special place in your heart, and those that are in good condition should be donated. If you need the extra cash, you could also consider holding a yard sale. Throw away. Surely, there are a lot of things in your home that have accumulated over the years that you simply do not need. When things are junky, toss them. Store. There will probably be some things that have significance to you or are valuable, but that you don’t have room for or don’t need to have on hand all of the time. These things should make their way into a Chandler storage unit.
