Before storing your belongings, it's important to take a complete inventory of all the items that will be stored. This will help you know exactly what you have stored and where you can find it later.
Once you have made a list of items to be stored, the second step is to sort and organize the items you will be storing. This will allow you to get rid of unnecessary items and better visualize what you need to store. You can sort the items according to what they are, what they are used for, how often they are used, or even their size. Then, you can organize the items according to these criteria for easy access when needed.

Once you've sorted and organized your stuff, it's time to pack it properly for storage. For this, it is recommended to use quality cardboard boxes or plastic crates with openings that let air inside to protect your belongings from dust, moisture and possible shocks. It is also advisable to use protective materials such as bubble wrap, blankets or covers for fragile or valuable items. Avoid covering your belongings with plastic sheeting that will prevent them from breathing in the long term. Don't forget to label each box with its contents for easy access to your belongings if needed.

Choosing a storage location is also important to ensure the safety of your belongings. It is recommended that you choose a dry, clean and secure location to avoid damage from moisture, insects or burglars. An individual storage unit is ideal. In any case, make sure the storage facility has a surveillance system and insurance to cover any damage.
