Do you have a storage unit?

If you’re living in an apartment, it can feel like you don’t have that much stuff. Shockingly, the accumulation of stuff starts early — usually with family mementos and “memory boxes” from junior high. EVERYTHING feels important in high school, and by the time we’re willing to part with it, it’s boxed up and moving from city to city without being opened. All the flotsam and jetsam of our daily lives can get to be too much, and that has negative consequences — annoyed roommates, having to rent bigger and more expensive places — even psychological drawbacks.

There’s a Plan for that!

Fear not, fellow accumulator of material things. There are plenty of ways to declutter your life, and the lovely people over at Home Storage Solutions 101 have organized them into a system that absolutely anyone can use. They say the best way to build a habit (and to keep it a resolution) is to work on it daily for a month, and in that spirit, we bring you this challenge: 52 Weeks to an Organized Home. This free guided experience sets 15-minute daily organizational tasks around your home, while offering tons of guidance, support, and even weekly newsletters, printables, and a Facebook group to help you stay on track. There’s a new space to focus on each week, and since there probably aren’t even 52 places in your apartment, it’s guaranteed to address every area of concern — even your car!

The New Year’s Almost Here!

You can start the challenge at any time, but what could be more reinforcing than to do it when you have all that New Year’s Resolution momentum? Sign up for the 52-week organization challenge now to start 2017 off on the right foot. When you succeed, you’ll love your home at South and Hickory Place even more!
