And the longer you have one, the more aggravating it can feel knowing you're just throwing away money to store stuff you aren't using.

• Don't try to clean it all out at once. This is especially true if your have a large storage unit. Clean out a section at a time. The last thing you want to do is overwhelm yourself. Pick a section and just clean that out. You can them come back the next day or week to take on another section. Believe it or not, you'll be done before you know if.
