Locker Organizing

The objectives of locker organizing are twofold: to optimize the utilization of your storage space and, to enhance the ease of access to your belongings. The steps towards acheiving these objectives are as follows:

• To begin, make a list of the contents of your locker.
• Next, measure the locker's dimensions.
• Consider organizing products that would fit into your locker and would be appropriate for the type and volume of storage required. In the majority of cases, the best solution for a locker is shelving. Shelving enables you to store items from ground to ceiling and allows easy access to those items.
• Purchase the locker organizing product and assemble it.
• Empty your locker, box by box.
• Go through each item and decide what to keep and what to discard.
• Install your organizer.
• Repack the items that you intend to keep into the locker. Here are some tips to assist you in doing this task:
  
  • Place items that you sometimes use within easy reach.
  • Label each box and container as you pack it away.
  • Items that are rarely or never used should be stored up high, down low, or in behind, out of the way. Keep items in this category to a minimum. They just occupy valuable space. If you never use an item, consider why you need it at all.
  • Pack boxes side by side and not one in front of the other, if it can be avoided.
• If your locker is large, leave a path from the door to the back and store your belongings on the sides. Never block items in the back.
• If you still have more than can comfortably fit into your locker, you have two alternatives: continue decluttering or find an alternate space in your home, perhaps an attic or a basement, to store the overflow.
