All year round we wait for summer to come because it marks freedom from the mundane day to day activities. But this year summertime is shaping up to a whole other affair. Fret not, there is much to look forward to even during the quarantine and that includes finding great deals on Self storage in Stoke onTrent.

While we may not be able to throw pool parties and sun-bathe on exotic islands, there is a lot that you can do from the comfort of your home. And for most of us, this summer is about getting it together and accepting the new reality. Here is what we planning to do this summer and you should too.

Turn your adventure list into the project list.


We all have an X that marks the day summer vacation started. Most of us have hotel and plane flights for the next adventure booked but all of that will have to wait for now as the world battles a deadly virus. Does that mean summers aren’t fun anymore? It doesn’t have to be like that. You can turn your adventure into projects that will make your summers enjoyable and memorable. Whether it is learning how to play the guitar or re-watching Friends and going on virtual dates; plan your summer as you would except travel and socialization.  

If you are someone who likes to read, make this summer into your great reading adventure where you finally read and sort all the books you have been putting off. Or if you have been dreading all the snacking maybe this summer is you grand excuse to work on that summer body with online workout classes. The whole point of summer is not just spending money on expensive flight s and hotels. It giving yourself some much needed time off and that you can give yourself at home too if you plan it right. Chances are the only thing you will then miss is the sun and well, what is a better time to splurge on spray tan that right now?

Internships and remote work


This might sound like the opposite of fun and that might be true if you are someone who has already been working and the work didn’t stop with the lockdown it just followed you home. But for students and people that lost their jobs, summer at home, is a great opportunity and not one to take lightly. The world is opening up to new ideas and challenges which means that growing your skillset and learning how to work competently from home is becoming more important than it ever was. Go find great internships to apply to and find remote jobs such as freelance graphic designing or coaching and figure out how you can make this summer the most impactful without dreading what could’ve been.

Moving back


While the lockdown has international flights on hold well over till 2020, there are lots of people that have their lease expiring or that are moving back home from the dorms. The initial panic is over and although the lockdown remains indefinite, a lot of people are starting to get their life back on track as much as is possible from the social confines.

If you are moving back into your apartment or are moving into a new one we recommend that you make the most of your space and enjoy the simple pleasures of having a roof over your head. The free time can be used as a catalyst for making serious changes in your life, such as starting the YouTube channel that you have always wanted or writing that novel. The most important thing to keep in mind when you start to get your normal life and environment back is analyzing how and where your time is spent and is it being utilized?

As a student moving out of the dorms we recommend putting all your belonging in storage first because it would help you navigate your next step carefully. Are you taking back home bulky textbooks that you rarely ever use? Or simply just moving back from an affected area with all of those items? The best thing to do is move unnecessary items into storage units as they would remain safe there and free up your mental space for other more pressing things that require your focus and attention.
