Why January and February is a great time to get a Storage Unit

If you’re anything like us then January is a natural time to make some resolutions for the New Year.  Did you know that Storage can actually help you keep your resolutions?  While storage can’t effectively change your habits, it can certainly help with creating an environment to suport your habit change.  A self storage unit can free up some space in your life and make your life and mind less cluttered and able to focus on what is truly important to you this new year.. Here are some ways self storage options can help you keep up with your new year resolutions.

Giving you the space to set up a home gym

Fitness or weight loss is one of the most commonly cited new years resolutions.  With the pandemic still ongoing, going to a gym is either not possible or perhaps not desirable. But that does not mean your goals have to take a backseat. Start by clearing out a room or an area in your living space and you can set up a highly functional home gym with just some weights and an internet connection to do some follow along workouts. Use a nearby storage facility to keep some of your lesser-used objects so you can free the space up for your exercise corner.

Helping your creative juices flow

Have you been feeling your creative side come to life since the start of 2021?.  Most hobbies take up space, whether it is puzzling, playing a new instrument, or doing artwork. It can also be hard to get those creative juices flowing when faced with physical clutter. At Bow City Storage we offer indoor climate controlled storage space with no long term contracts so you can choose a storage unit that fits your needs the best. And keep us in mind for actually using our space to let the creative juices flow. 

Creating an environment for you to procrastinate less

Did you know that clutter can be physically and mentally stressful. Research has shown that clutter can “affect our anxiety levels, sleep, and ability to focus”. It can affect our productivity levels, and trigger coping strategies that make us more likely to procrastinate.

With most of us still working from home into the new year, having a tidy space is optimal for work performance. A storage unit, even a small one, can relieve some of the clutter in your home and make your work life less stressful and more productive.
