November Jobs for Lifestyle Storers

November. Darker nights and Christmas racing towards us at full speed. Whether you’re a stalwart partygoer or staying in by the fire, whether you’re a ‘Christmas starts early in our house’ or a ‘Christmas starts a week before and ends before New Year’, here are a few helpful nudges for our ‘Lifestyle Storers’ regarding what might go into and out of storage this month.

We can no longer hide from it. Despite the fact that we’re all feeling the pinch, the stores are all full of goodies and Christmas is upon us!

‍

Christmas preparations: Decluttering to make room

Lifestyle storers will want a massive declutter and move out one or two things into storage to make space for Christmas decorations and Christmas guests.

Some of our previous blog posts may help inspire you with the decluttering:

· Ten tips on the way to Decluttering Nirvana (with a hat tip to Marie Kondo, of course)

· Home decluttering ideas

· Swedish Death Cleaning (A lot less gruesome than the name implies!)

With all of us feeling the pinch, keep an eye out on our blog for some tips on which sites are out there to sell on your preloved things that you are not putting into storage.

Christmas preparations: Decorations

And of course, the end of the month is time for many to get out their Christmas decorations, test the fairy lights’ bulbs, dust down the tinsel, wipe over the table decorations and generally prepare. (Some prefer to wait until two weeks before Christmas to put up those decorations – your Christmas, your choice!)

Of course, if you’re simply pragmatic about things and want to limit yourself to one storage run only this month, you may prefer to wait until your Black Friday goodies have arrived. (Yes, that annual money saving ‘spendfest’ is upon us on Friday November 25.)

5 Tips in Creating a Workspace in Your Small Apartment

Dedicating a workspace or a home office should be equally valuable as any part of your apartment whether this is for a remote job or line of work is something that can be done at the comfort of your own home. More often than not, we tend to put this last on our list as sometimes we resort to our bedroom or living room as our go-to workspace. But hey, who doesn’t want working at the comfort of your bed with your PJs on while reviewing your business report? Think again. According to Harvard Business Review’s Guide to Being More Productive, “Unless you are careful to maintain boundaries, you may start to feel like you’re always at work and losing a place to come home to.” Working and sleeping in the same area is not a good idea as you tend to lose your work-life balance, which eventually will lead you to stress and being burnt out from work and feels like you don’t have a life anymore.

How to Keep Your Seasonal Clothes in a Self-Storage Properly

There’s a long list of items that can be kept in a self-storage which made this industry the most cost-effective storage solution there is and your seasonal clothing is just one of them. Clothes come in different sizes and materials and some of them can be sensitive to the changing climate that may cause damage. Let’s admit that not all of us have been blessed with enough space in our closets to store clothes that are not yet in time to be worn. We can free up more space in our closets and avoid looking it disorganised through finding available storage solutions around us. Self-storage can provide you more than just the space you need. You thought you might be throwing money on something that isn't a necessity but self-storage can maintain the quality of your seasonal clothes, protect them against any temperature-related damages, and more importantly, achieve a peaceful and stress-free living with an organised closet.
