Removing excessive amounts of clutter from our homes is good for us. It helps our physical and mental health. But, decluttering can feel overwhelming. Here, we will offer tips and advice and let you know how our storage units Southend will help.
Research has shown that clutter has a negative impact on our physical and mental health. Clutter can trigger the release of the stress hormone cortisol which will increase feelings of tension and anxiety. It will also have a negative effect on your physical health, worsening conditions like asthma.
But, the thought of decluttering, particularly if you have a lot of stuff, can feel overwhelming. Our Southend storage will help.
Within this article, we will offer you some advice and tips on how to declutter. And let you know how our storage units will help.
Think About Your Whys
Your first port of call should be to think about why you want to declutter.
Is the clutter in your home really getting you down or making you feel stressed and anxious? Do you not invite people into your home because of the clutter? Do you just want more space in your home?
When you know your whys, it will help you to get started and to stay motivated.
Set Small Goals
Before you get started, it is a good idea to set some decluttering goals but make sure that they are small and realistic. This will help you to actually achieve them.
Your goal could be as small as to declutter one room each Saturday for the next two months. Or you could go even smaller and choose to start with one drawer or one cupboard.
Take Your Time
In a similar way that it is a good idea to set small, realistic goals, you should also allow yourself to take your time. You do not have to have your entire home decluttered in one weekend, even if you don’t have a lot of clutter. There will be many items that you want to think about before you sell them or give them away.
Decluttering can be overwhelming due to the amount of the clutter you have but it can also be hard because it is difficult to part with some items. Allow yourself some grace and time. No matter your ‘whys’, you are decluttering for you and your family.
Try Out Some Decluttering Methods
There are many decluttering methods out there so if you are struggling with knowing how to begin, you could try out some decluttering methods. Many of them are very simple and easy to do.
For example, The Four Box Method involves you getting four boxes per room and labelling them: Keep, Throw Away, Give Away and Storage. And then you just go through all of your stuff and put each item into the right box. Easy!
We do recommend that anything you put into the Throw Away or Give Away box is dealt with as soon as possible because, if you just leave them in your house, things have a habit of making their way out of the boxes.
Use Storage Units Southend
Any items that go into the Storage box can be brought to our storage in Enfield. Even if you don’t use The Four Box Method, you will have items that you want to sell, aren’t sure about or that you don’t need year round. This can all be stored within our units.

“Cinch Storage in Southend is conveniently located near the centre of town. So it’s very handy if you live in the area and need some extra storage space. I’ve taken a space for a few months and Mark helpfully arranged a deal at a good, affordable price. Everything is clean and well-organised, with lots of parking space at the building, packing materials if you need them, and a good supply of trolleys. The staff I’ve dealt with have been friendly and helpful and, I have to say, sport some very handsome beards.”
