How much storage space do you really need?

Determining the exact storage space you need is probably one of the challenges you need to get through when planning to store away your belongings. Just by merely segregating which among your things should be in store, for donation, and to be thrown away can be really stressful. But I bet once you've gone through the segregation process, it will be the jumpstart in identifying which storage space you really need.

There are lots of storage facilities rising nowadays. Some of them have advanced features, usually available on their website, where you can calculate and determine the storage space you need, even without visiting the unit. This gives you the "preview" of what fits in in a storage unit.
