Dictionary of Frequently Used Storage Terms

Packratitis - The ability to secrete an incredible number of items in a secure space in the event that it may someday be needed. Some people mistakenly believe this malady to be untreatable…..not so. Treatment is readily available. Highlands Executive Storage can provide the perfect remedy - a "just-right sized storage unit"!

Squirrel Syndrome - so named because individuals with symptoms of this are often called "nuts". However, they are truly inspired when it comes to finding nooks and crannies in which to store the darndest things. But even they eventually run out of space, and that is when Highlands Executive Storage comes to the rescue. By squirreling away some of their precious stash in a readily accessible storage unit, they can resume the fun of tucking things away in creative places at home, without having to get rid of anything.

Hoard-aholic - If one whatchamacallit is good, then five must be better, this is the rationale of the hoard-aholic. Someday there may be a shortage of whatchamacallits, and by gosh, this guy is going to be ready! Now, if you are living with someone with hoarding instincts, it would be a good idea to check out the storage units at Highlands Executive Storage and periodically move some of the more cumbersome widgets into storage. Note: It is best to do this when the hoard-aholic is not at home, and try to take things from the bottom or back of the piles. A true hoard-aholic is going to notice, however, so you must be ready to present him with his very own storage unit key.

Clutter Mania - This extreme condition may require surgery. Yes, it can progress to a point where relief can only be obtained by "cutting out" the clutter. This need not be painful or traumatic. Just gather up the excess items and bring them to a unit at Highlands Executive Storage for safekeeping and return home, stress and clutter free. If the cluttering maniac misses the clutter too much, suggest she comfort herself with a visit to her storage unit, touching base with her prized possessions. A word to the wise, "Be vigilant - clutterers may try to sneak some items back home."
