How Self-Storage Can Help With Your New Year’s Resolutions

With the holidays firmly in the rear-view mirror, it’s time to look ahead to 2016.

This is especially true if you’ve made New Year’s resolutions.

Believe it or not, self-storage units from 10 Mini Storage can help you keep all the resolutions you’ve set for the year.

Looking at some common resolutions, here’s how you can use self-storage towards achieving your personal goals.

Resolution: Getting healthy

How self-storage helps: Perhaps the most popular resolution, getting healthy can mean anything, such as:

Improving your eating habits
Running every day
Getting a gym membership

However if you want to exercise at home instead of at the gym, then take advantage of the many January sales fitness stores are currently offering by purchasing the gym equipment you want.

Then, transform an unused room into your new home gym.

As for the items in that old room? Use a storage space to store those items which you no longer use on a regular basis.

You’ll have the space you need to properly and safely use your new gym equipment.

And you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your stuff is safe, secure and out of the way.

Resolution: Organizing the home

How self-storage helps: Our homes have enough clutter as-is. And the addition of recently-received Christmas gifts just adds to it.

January is the perfect month to get an early start on spring cleaning and to declutter your home for the year.

For those items which you aren’t sure whether to keep or discard, a storage rental unit provides you with time and space while you make up your mind.

And to ensure you actually keep this resolution, you can choose to get a short-term rental space.

That way, you’ll have a deadline by which you need to make a decision on those particular items.

Resolution: Moving to a new house

How self-storage helps: This is the year you’ve finally decided to move to a new home. Congratulations!

Moving is stressful and it’s all dependent on timing and scheduling.

If you haven’t yet put your home on the market, you’ll probably want to clean it up and declutter it to make it look as appealing as possible to prospective buyers.

Self-storage units are a great way to remove clutter for those home showings.

They can also be a big part of your moving supplies for when moving day arrives.

If there are things you aren’t sure you want to bring to the new house, a storage unit is a smart place to keep them secure until you decide.

Resolution: Travelling the world

How self-storage helps: If you’ve always wanted to pack up and see the world, self-storage can help with that too.

While you’re away (especially if it’s for an extended period of time), you can use a self-storage facility to safely and securely keep your valuables secure while you’re away.

And if you plan on renting your empty house to earn some much needed cash (for mortgage payments or extra travelling money), a storage space keeps those extra-special items out of sight from unwanted eyes.

Resolution: Home renovation projects

How self-storage helps: Whether you’re planning on adding some fresh paint here or there, or if you’re completely redoing a kitchen or bathroom, it’s hard with furniture in the way.

A self-storage unit gives you somewhere safe to keep your belongings until the project is complete.

That way, you avoid the risk of accidental damage while giving you (or your contractor) more room to safely work.
