Psychological Reasons for Clutter – Why People Can’t Let Go

Solution:

Toss or donate clothes that don’t fit you, or that haven’t been worn in the last year. If you need some sort of motivation for dieting, save one pair of “skinny pants.” Special occasion items can be kept for more than a year—but try to keep in mind that they will go out of style and you’ll want something new to wear anyway.

These are only a few of the reasons people hang on to clutter, there are surely many more. I encourage you to look at what you are holding onto and decide if it’s just “stuff” or a cherished treasure.
