How to Organise Your Life with Self-Storage

The start of a new year inspires many people to get organised both within their lives and at home. This could mean decluttering, reorganising, or even renovating to create a more minimalist aesthetic in the home. Whichever way you’re looking to organise your life, self-storage can be a great way to assist you in the process. 

Self-storage units offer a convenient and customisable solution for storing excess belongings, important documents, and seasonal items. This makes it easier to conduct a thorough life organisation, so that you can continue the year feeling your best. Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of self-storage for life organisation as well as our tips for making the most of a storage unit.  

Why is Self-Storage Helpful for Life Organisation?

It is a common misconception that self-storage is only useful for moving house or renovation projects. If you’re living in a smaller space or city or even feel overwhelmed by the number of belongings you possess, self-storage can help to take some of the weight off your shoulders. Those with growing families will certainly understand how quickly toys, clothes, and children’s belongings can pile up, all for them to be unused within a few years.  

If you want your life and home to feel more put together, self-storage can assist you greatly. What’s more, facilities like ours are equipped with a range of unit sizes with flexible contracts, making it simple to upgrade or downgrade your unit size depending on your storage needs. On top of this, we also provide a range of services such as complimentary forklift usage for those heavier items, as well as our onsite box shop – which can help you neatly categorise your items. If you’re concerned about cost when it comes to self-storage, we are constantly offering deals and promotions to help make the purchase of a unit even easier.  

Top Tips for Organising Your Life

If one of your goals is to organise your life in 2025, then it can be tricky to know where to begin. Here are some small yet impactful tips that can help you take control of your life: 

• Start with One Area at a Time: Trying to tackle every aspect of your life or room in your house is overwhelming and unnecessary. Instead, break this down by organising one room or area at a time. This could be as simple as deleting old emails or photos or going through a kitchen cupboard. Step by step, you’ll be on your way to living an organised and clutter-free life. 

• Set Realistic Goals: Organising your life can take time, especially if you want to conduct a thorough job. Break down bigger goals into small, manageable tasks. For instance, if your aim is to declutter your garage to make room for car storage, then consider putting seasonal items like sports equipment or bikes into storage. 

• Declutter Regularly: Trying to declutter everything in one go can often lead to failed attempts halfway through the process. Instead, make it a habit to declutter seasonally or monthly, especially when the weather begins to change. Alternatively, make an overall checklist of every area of your life (whether that’s physical or virtual) you want to declutter, and tackle one every so often.  

• Avoid Buying Unnecessary Things: It can be straightforward to organise items already in your life, however you should introduce practices into your life to avoid the need for mass organisation this time next year. Before buying a new product ask yourself if it will add value to your life or whether it will take up more space. A good way to deal with things such as impulse online purchases, is to add items to your online basket, wait a couple of days, and come back to it. Most of the time you will decide to abandon the purchase, highlighting how it wasn’t necessary in the first place.  

• Utilise Self-Storage: If you find yourself holding onto items that you don’t use regularly, like outdoor furniture, children’s toys, or sentimental items, consider looking into a self-storage unit. This will free up space without the need to get rid of items you’re not ready to part with.  

How to Make the Most of Your Self-Storage Unit

If you’re interested in hiring a self-storage unit to assist with your life organisation, it’s important to make the most of all that it has to offer. For instance, choosing the right size storage unit is essential, as you don’t want it to feel overpacked or cluttered, or alternatively you have too much extra space. Once you’ve secured your unit, there are an abundance of ways to maximise space, including the use of vertical storage, clearly labelled plastic bins, and stackable storage options. If your unit is big enough, you could also introduce an aisle down the centre in order to avoid scrambling for items at the back of your unit.  

Here at Kangaroo Self Storage, we offer flexible and reliable storage options to help you organise your life. Whether you’re conducting house renovations, undergoing a small declutter, or completely overhauling your life – we’ve got a range of unit sizes to fit your requirements.
