Our third tip is to make sure you set aside some time to organize all of your items. It may take you a couple of hours to organize your storage unit in Alhambra, CA, or to organize all of your summer gear into one spot, but overall you’ll end up saving more time by being organized. The holiday season is stressful for most of us, and there isn’t much time to spend digging through boxes to find Christmas lights. Keeping all of your storage items organized by seasons and holidays will reduce your stress and save you time. And most importantly, when you take time to organize your storage unit, place the items that you’re least likely to use in the very back of your storage unit, and put the boxes you use most often at the front. When organizing seasonally, remember that you can rotate items in and out of their spots as you bring them between home and your storage unit. There are a lot of people who rush to get their move done as quickly as possible and they don’t consider the items they access frequently. We realize that organizing your storage unit or your items may seem like an overwhelming task. One adage we like is: “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.” If you have a whole storage unit that is cluttered and has boxes scattered everywhere, just spend a couple of hours doing the color coding, and the following week you can spend a couple of hours. A little time spent organizing now will save you a lot of time later.
