The average person is just beginning to discover how smart a smartphone really is. When it comes your Tucson self storage unit, it turns out your smartphone can help a lot. It can’t perform any actual lifting but it can do things you can’t; and it can do it faster and easier. How you choose to use your smartphone will be up to you but here are a few ideas out of probably several options available for you. Locate the nearest US Storage Center When you want to find the nearest US Storage Center in Tucson, just ask your phone. It doesn’t matter if you are talking to Siri or the new Google app just say, “Where is the nearest US Storage Center in Tucson?” The response will not only give you the address but it will show up in Google maps and give you directions on how to get there. Select the unit size you need One easy way to determine the size of your new storage unit is to go to the Tucson page from the main US Storage Centers website. There you will find a handy size guide. There are a few apps on your phone that claim to help you with this, among other things. Unfortunately, these apps are the glitchiest apps around, typically earning the lowest rank available in most reviews. We tried to use a unit size estimator on our iPhone 5, only to find that it wouldn’t even open for us. The price of free however, made it less irritating. Don’t despair US Storage Center’s size guide can reached on your smartphone. The easiest ways to organize Before you get out your pencil and paper, here are a couple of ways to keep track of everything you have in storage. Both of these options work great because the information can be shared with everyone in the family who has a smartphone and it can also be shared with your home computer. Wunderlist To make Wunderlist work as an excellent storage unit organizer, you will, of course need to download the free version of Wunderlist. Set up a list labeled “Storage Unit.” You will need to use your camera app so have it ready to go. If you are storing a box, label it with a system that is easy to understand. If you are storing something for your daughter the box might be labeled “Sally -1.” Use a heavy Sharpie and write “Sally – 1” on every side. Now add the item “Sally – 1” to your storage shed list. Open this new item and then tap on “note” and enter the main items in the box. You can be as detailed as you want. You can now seal the box. To make it easy to locate “Sally – 1” tap on the paper clip at the bottom of the page that says “add a comment.” You can then choose the option to take a picture of the item, giving you an exact idea of what “Sally – 1” looks like. If you are storing a bicycle, it’s even easier. Just open up your camera app and take a picture of the bicycle. You can then save the picture to Wunderlist directly. You can label the item if you want, “Sally’s Old Bike.” For items that aren’t in boxes, this process is quick and easy. There; now you have all of the items in your storage unit accounted for. You can even send your teenagers to the storage unit with a picture of what they are looking for. Easy. Evernote Evernote works in similar ways to Wunderlist with one awesome difference. Instead of taking time to write down the contents of a box you can record your voice giving a quick run down of each item and maybe even a commentary. This box contains Sally’s refrigerator art, her first tooth, her fist diary, some of her toys, and other items only she knows about. It’s her first 6 years in one box. For many people, this method is even easier. However, if you do want to write things down, that option is the default in Evernote. There you have it. You have the contents of an entire 10’ X 8’ storage unit (or larger) in your pocket.
