7 Important questions to help you prioritize your storage
a short excerpt from my upcoming e-book:
There are two keys to good stewardship when it comes to storage: organization, and priorities. You can prioritize by asking yourself 7 important questions before you store an item:
- Will I use it again within a year?
- Would I really miss it if it disappeared, or would I forget that I ever had it?
- Will it deteriorate or depreciate in storage?
- Would it be more cost effective to sell it now and buy or borrow another if/when I need it?
- Do I have a good place to store it? Will I have to get rid of something else to make room?
- Why do I want to store it? Why not keep it out and use it now?
- Do I know somebody else who would benefit from it, either as a loan or a gift
That's my list. Do you have any questions that you would add to the list?
