[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the OP but I think I get stuck keeping stuff for several reasons:

fear that I'll get rid of something and regret it later
indecision about giving away something that might have value (but not eager to take the time or effort to try to sell)
procrastination because we're not selling or moving any time soon

Any advice on overcoming those thoughts?[/quote]

Storing things has a cost. Even if they are in your house, they are taking up space that you pay for and can’t then use any other way. I think of getting rid of things I might need later as paying Amazon to store them. Instead of continually adding storage costs, I agree to maybe one day pay the replacement cost.

You don’t need to be like that if your things are happily stored in your storage spaces because you don’t have more stuff than space. But if they’re not, that’s one way to think about it. It’s so, so much easier to replace things now in terms of time and ability to find them than pre-internet when you had to drive around and hope a store had something. So just pay the “fee” and get them out of your way. [/quote]
