One of my clients was preparing to travel abroad, and decided it was time to shed some extra weight. The goal was simple: keep only the essentials and store them safely in a small storage unit just outside London before flying away (like this one).
Not every storage project requires a large unit (like the one I worked on with another client). Sometimes, a teeny-weeny space is more than enough when you carefully select what truly matters.
Sometimes a little storage is all you need!
Some of these storage units cost just a few pounds per week, making them a great option if you’re going away for an extended period. The key is to be intentional about what you keep, and make the absolute most of the space you have 🙂
Doesn’t it look perfectly packed??
LOVE IT!
“Last month I was overwhelmed with the impossible task of packing up my entire life in the space of a month with the goal of getting rid of approx. 80% and fitting the remaining into a tiny 15 sqft storage locker. As a neurodivergent person I struggle with getting started on big tasks, and I am very particular about how I approach tasks, however Fran completely understood this without confusion or judgement.
Fran broke things down into smaller tasks and started alongside me which made all the difference in getting momentum going, and productivity to snowball.
I especially recommend Fran if you are neurodivergent, she knows how to work with my brain and not against it. She’s incredibly patient, offers consistent positive reinforcement and opts for encouragement instead of putting on pressure (which would cause me to freeze).
She asked my friends to be gentle with me, acknowledging how difficult the project would be for me, and she offered emotional support and regular check-ins. Fran goes above and beyond for her clients, even finding potential buyers for some of my items - a particularly memorable example was when she found a buyer for my entire makeup collection in literally 30 seconds.
She also encouraged me to reach out to friends and family for support, and practical help which turned out to be a real game changer as asking for help is something I’ve always struggled with, but really need during times like this.
The project was entirely successful, I moved out on time, with the storage locker filled exactly to requirement. I couldn’t have done this without help and I haven’t hesitated to recommend Fran to several friends already - particularly my neurodiverse friends.
Thanks again for everything 🥰”
