4 Organizing Excuses That Lead to a Cluttered Home

If you have a heater or a pile of clothes you won't need until winter, try MakeSpace, a company that holds on to your stuff so you can avoid the hassle of renting a storage unit. Put in a request online for boxes (which will be delivered to your door), and MakeSpace will pick them up from anywhere in the continental United States. Plus, you'll receive an online photo catalog of the contents of each bin, so you'll never forget what you've stored. When you're ready, just log on and select the items you'd like to have sent back to you. (MakeSpace.com; $25 per month for four 27-by-17-by-13-inch boxes)
