Back-to-the-Grind Tips for Success

Fall is here, and now you need to get back to the grind. Start slowly by planning some routines and making sure everything is nicely organized. If you need some extra space, choose North Shore Mini Storage for the best storage prices on the North Shore.

Back-to-the-Grind Tips for Success

To help you fall back into your routine this fall, here are some quick, helpful tips:

Post a Daily Routine: Designate a location to post a daily to-do list – helping your children establish routines for homework, reading, and bedtime.

Set Up Storage Space for Gear: To eliminate morning chaos, designate a location for book bags, lunch boxes, and shoes. Decorative hooks and colorful cubbyholes work well for storing items in convenient locations for your kids.

Label, Label, Label: Label boxes, bins, and even your time. This helps both adults and kids manage to-do lists better. Clean as You Go: Straighten up your kitchen while cooking, hang up clothes when you change, and put supplies back as soon as you’re done with them. This will save you hours later.

Prepare food the night before: Make breakfast and prepare lunches the night before, whenever possible. Throwing together breakfast on the go and organizing lunches for the whole family can make a busy morning even more overwhelming.

Once again, thanks to Sparefoot for allowing us to reblog these awesome tips. For all your storage needs, Contact North Shore Mini Storage today! Don’t let fall get you down and follow these tips for success.

This is inexpensive storage that operates 100% as advertised - they do not offer 24/7 access and do not charge 24/7 access pricing. They are incredibly responsive to requests to unlock doors and provide access. It is not fancy but if you need a clean, dry place to store your stuff, you can't beat these guys. Don't expect bells and/or whistles but you also won't be paying for them.

Have to phone to have buildings unlocked. Annoying.

Prices are 1/2 the price of other storage units but it shuts down (locked gates) from 10 am - 6 pm except if you have the enormous ground level outside facing units. Those hours are impossible. The technology getting items up to the second story is an actual forklift thats made stationary. You balance your items up the forklift (and you raise the wooden pallet up yourself) Then you must walk up stairs and hope their is a dolly available to wind precariously around tiny turning hallways. Budget carpentry and ancient carpet in the units. The trolleys sound and feel like their from 1980's and are either coached to disobey or they keep their own counsel. They say its secure but I had a neighbor pick something up and they weren't even asked for permission. I explicitly stated only I was to have access. They said they do not let it happen. The locks are your own, but the flip closure is attached by 3/4 wood screws easily and possibly quite quietly could be opened and emptied with no one batting an eye. A kid could detach it with anything. They have "24 hour security" which means a guy lives on site. Does he/she have CCTV access? Probably not, nor would you want that job. Are there motion sensors? Not likely as sometimes the lights won't turn on and finding a switch in the straggly wandering corridors is impossible. They do not offer insurance. You have to sign forms saying all the things you will and won't do, but they are not liable if anything happens: theft, fire, water, vandals, pests etcSo despite all those complaints, its still 4/5 only because of the prices.
