With a New Year comes new starts and the introduction of self-promises for personal improvements in 2020. The same should apply when it comes to organising your personal storage and being able to make the most out of our Somerset storage solutions in the New Year. In this article, we introduce you to five of the very best books that will help you stay organised in 2020, providing top personal storage tips that apply to your home and your rented storage unit in Somerset.

Our associate company, Your Store Exeter, cover a similar topic centred around efficient and thoughtful personal storage, in their article Exeter Storage Units Meets The Marie Kondo Effect. Marie Kondo, in fact, features at the very top of our list of best books for personal storage tips. Let’s take a look at the list in full.

Any of the following reads will help you achieve better personal storage tendencies around the home and when you come to your storage unit in Somerset:
For those of you who have yet to come across personal storage guru Marie Kondo, her tips and tricks really can go a long way to improving your organisation and saving you money. This read offers you a comprehensive approach to tidying your house and making the most of your space, which can be transferred to the storage process when it comes to self storage in Taunton. The ‘KonMari Method’, as it is known.
This book teaches you to live with less clutter and enjoy the living space you have without being hampered in any way. Centered around the concept of minimalism, like most of the books featured, The Joy of Less insists that you should do away with items you don’t need in your home and just live with those essentials and a few luxuries. Our Somerset storage units, and the competitive self storage prices attached, are the ideal place to store your items if you come to try this approach.

So, what spin does Jennifer S. Edwards put on the decluttering question? Quite simply, she targets hoarders and those who do anything to avoid cleaning up their organisation act! We’ve seen many people use self storage in Taunton to hoard items and that all fine, but having a read of this may help hoarders save time and money when they come to storing at home and in units. This read includes a section that is ideal for people that have a real build-up of clutter and need proper direction of how to go about sorting it.
An apt read for the start of the New Year, this book takes you on a year’s journey to achieving the ultimate levels of organisation in your personal storage solutions. Starting at home and breaking down the need to organise room by room, Jamie Stewart’s entry leads onto how organising each room individually comes together to present the perfect living environment in your home. We can add a little tip of our own here:
Top Tip – Designate areas of your storage unit in Somerset to each set of items that are taken from individual rooms. This will facilitate clarity, efficiency and time saving in the storage process – especially if you are taking out long term storage or moving house storage.
This book from Cassandra Aarssen will provide more of an instant win if you’re looking to clean up your personal storage act in a shorter space of time. It includes an in / out system, which will help you keep your Somerset storage unit organised – disposing of things that no longer need to be in the unit and making way for others items that are more worthy of the storage space.
