Get Organized with Self-Storage Units Near Lafayette PLUS a Free Moving Van

Nothing can be more frustrating than being disorganized. At work, it may cause difficulties in getting tasks accomplished. At home, you may end up spending more time hunting for items that you can’t find but already have. If your financial papers are not in place before tax filing time, you lose out in a big way. The task of getting organized is monumental. Moving and storing your belongings can be overwhelming too, if you don’t know how to sort things out in advance.

Learning a few tips is a good way to get you started and ease your stress. During the transition, a key consideration should be a self-storage unit near Lafayette.

We do everything we can to make it easier, with efficient rental spaces, a wide range of moving supplies, and a free moving van to get your things into storage when you rent a unit.

3 Ways to Organize Your Move

What is the best way to move a mountain? You do it one boulder at a time! As you get prepared for your new location, overcome the stress of packing with these 3 tips:

     1.) Go Room by Room: Any time you have a large project in front of you, there is the danger of feeling defeated even before you start. Just thinking of the word “moving” conjures up images of piles of boxes, sore backs and short tempers. Make the job much simpler by taking on one room at a time over several days. Start with the least used room in your home, and then move on to the next, and so on. Soon you will have nicely labeled boxes ready for the moving truck headed to your new residence and better still, a free moving van that drives you to your rental storage unit for the things you’re going to store.

    2.) Use Lists to Remember and Mark Items: Many individuals shrink back at the thought of making a list. Why rely on pen and paper when you can store everything in your head? The truth is that lists help you hold on to your sanity when you have to make quick decisions on moving day. Separate your belongings into piles when you are packing up room by room. Mark the items you want to take with you; those that need to be donated; and the ones that go to a storage unit. When you keep your personal belongings in storage, a handy list will help you keep track of all items in the unit. Make sure you write on the outside of every box, what is inside it and the room it came from. Another suggestion is to write the value of items going to your rental storage facility on your storage list.

   3.) Keep Plenty of Packing Supplies on Hand: Save yourself headaches by having all your packing supplies ready to use. Gather up boxes, tape, marking pens and scissors in a central location, so you can grab them quickly. If you cannot find everything you need, rely on 5A Rent-A-Space; they carry supplies and offer monthly discount coupons on items like boxes, packing tape, and bubble wrap.
