Whilst nobody could have predicted the seismic impacts that the COVID-19 outbreak would have had on our lives, the fact of the matter is that it has. Further to that, it’s very unlikely that beyond the crisis we’ll see a return to the ‘normality’ that we previously knew. This is a changing of tides and make no mistake about it. Businesses and domestic parties alike will invariably change the way they operate going forward, either to futureproof themselves for another such eventuality like COVID-19, or because they’ve found that their processes have actually improved in many ways. The team here at Store That, providers of secure self-storage in E14 have put together this blog explaining why things won’t go back to the way they were before the outbreak.

Working From Home 

For those companies who’ve been able, remote working has on the whole proved to be equally as productive, if not more so than when they were back working in the office. Whilst the day-to-day levels of productivity may vary more, the baseline has risen. It’s easy to understand why when you factor in lack of distractions, talking to work colleagues and getting into a heated debate about something being a particularly touted example! Not only that but there seems to also be an increased pressure to be productive whilst you’re working at home because of the fact that nobody’s there to keep track of you. You don’t want to take risks or liberties so you end up working even harder!

With that in mind, many companies may choose to keep at least some of their workforce remote working even after the outbreak. To do this, however, you need as suitable a working set up as possible and that requires space. For that reason, many more people will be choosing to use secure self-storage in E14 to free up that necessary space so they can continue to work from home in as productive a manner as possible.

Cluttered Life, Cluttered Mind

At the minute, more than ever, we’re realising the importance of positive mental health. Being cooped up indoors all of the time in one place makes you realise just how easy it is to get bogged down by anxiety and stress. A cluttered home is only going to contribute to that feeling of a lack of control within your own life.

 To ensure that your home helps rather than hinders your mental health should anything like this happen again, many people will see the value of putting their excess belongings into secure self-storage in E14. Nothing has highlighted the all-encompassing nature of mental health quite like this virus has. People who previously thought they were ‘above’ or ‘tougher’ than mental health, are starting to realise otherwise.

The Uptake?

This outbreak has taught us several things so far, both good and bad. Firstly, that the stockpiling of toilet paper was perhaps a tad off the mark. Secondly, just how much we take our civil liberties for granted. And finally, the fact that amidst all this darkness, there are positives which we can draw upon, improvements we can make, and changes that we should make.
