I've done this since my 50s, after downsizing from a huge home to a tiny condo. Every bit of real estate storage matters, and yes, we have a storage unit as well. I keep an Excel spreadsheet to track my purchases (travel items, house, etc.), including where I put them, whether I lent them, if they're in storage, or their storage location in our home. I can easily search for anything.

Ha ha... apparently it also applies to teenagers :)
