How to Host a Yard Sale That Actually Works (and is Fun!)


Declutter your life and make some extra cash? Yes, please! Whether you’re moving, downsizing, or just tired of stepping over that pile of “stuff,” a well-planned yard sale can turn your unwanted items into someone else’s treasures. Hot Sellers: Lightly worn clothes, tools, small furniture, toys, books, and quirky vintage dishes—basically, the things people will spot from across the yard and make a beeline for. What to Skip: Anything broken, stained, rusty, or destined to live in a landfill. (Your old mismatched Tupperware? Nope.) Pricing Like a Pro: Think deal hunter—half price for unused, 30% for gently used, and 10% for well-loved. Haggling Hacks: Be firm in the morning when the crowd is big, loosen up later to clear out the last bits. Sale Day Secrets: Start early, get organized, use eye-catching displays, and keep small bills on hand. Bonus points for music and cold drinks—happy shoppers shop longer. Spread the Word: Go big online (Facebook, Craigslist, Nextdoor) and offline (bright signs, clear directions). Leftover Love: Donate, store, or repurpose. And if you need extra space after the sale, Storage Ninjas has your back with easy, flexible storage—right here in Ashland, NE, serving nearby communities like Greenwood, Memphis, Wahoo, Gretna, South Bend, and Louisville. We also serve Grand Island, NE, along with surrounding communities: Aurora, Washington, Phillips, Giltner, Doniphan, Alda, Trumbull, Hansen, Wood River, and Eldorado.

What Clutter Does to Your Mental Health — And How to Take Control


Clutter doesn’t just take up space—it clutters your mind. From piles of paper to chaotic closets, disorganization can trigger stress, anxiety, and mental fatigue. “Clutter is emotional,” says pro organizer Jen Robin. “Every item silently demands your attention.” And that’s exhausting. Clutter = Mental Overload Clutter is more than just stuff—it’s a reflection of mental chaos. It distracts you, drains your energy, and can make you feel stuck, especially if you’re managing ADHD, anxiety, or just too many life changes at once. Start Small. Start Smart. Don’t try to fix it all in a day. Clear a drawer, toss what’s broken, and organize one area that matters to you—like your coffee station or nightstand. One small win can boost your momentum. Overwhelmed? That’s Where We Come In. At Storage Ninjas, we’re more than storage—we’re your backup team for decluttering without the stress. Your stuff stays safe—and out of sight—so your mind can breathe. Create Space, Build Peace Staying organized isn’t about perfection. It’s about creating habits that help you feel good: 10 minutes a day of tidying “One in, one out” item rule Labeled bins = easy wins And most importantly, speak kindly to yourself:“Progress, not perfection.”“I’m making space for my life now.”You deserve a space that feels calm, not chaotic. Let Storage Ninjas help you clear the clutter—physically and mentally. Ready to feel lighter? Let’s make space for peace. ...

Declutter Before the Holidays: Why Now is the Best Time to Rent a Storage Unit


The holidays are just around the corner, and let's be honest - it's the most wonderful time of the year... but also one of the most stressful. From hosting guests to preparing massive holiday meals, there's a lot going on. And when your home is cluttered with all the stuff you've accumulated throughout the year, it can make things feel a lot more chaotic. But what if I told you that you can solve that problem easily and get your home holiday-ready in no time? The secret? Renting a storage unit. That's right.

By renting a storage unit, you can easily move those items out of sight and make your guest room inviting again. Suddenly, Aunt Linda won’t have to sleep on the couch, and you won’t feel embarrassed about the clutter. Stress-Free Decorating Let’s not forget that with the holidays come decorations—lots and lots of decorations. Whether it’s the fall-themed pumpkins and leaves for Thanksgiving or the twinkling lights and ornaments for the next holiday season, those decorations need space. And what about the holiday dinner table? How are you supposed to fit everything when your dining room is already packed with furniture, extra appliances, or last year’s boxes of holiday decor? This is where a Storage Ninjas in Ashland, Grand Island, or Waverly comes in handy. By moving the non-essential items out of your home and into storage, you free up valuable space for the holiday festivities.
