Most people do not have trouble getting things into a storage unit. The trouble starts months later, when they need one specific item and it is buried behind everything else. Organizing a unit by category from the start fixes that.
Before loading, sort belongings into a few simple groups: seasonal items, household goods, furniture, tools and equipment, and keepsakes or paperwork. Pack each group together and use one label color per group so it is easy to spot from the doorway.
A one-page list taped inside the door, or a note on a phone, saves a lot of digging. List each category and roughly where it sits in the unit. Update it whenever something comes out or goes in.
Freestanding shelves turn wall space into storage and keep smaller boxes from getting crushed. Stack to a safe height, and keep the heaviest boxes low.

Stack only as high as is stable and safe to reach, and always keep the heaviest boxes at the bottom.
