Getting Rid Of Your Stuff Even Though You Already Spent The Money.

Since it seems as though I am the “guru” of organization in my family (not just my immediate family, but the whole thing!), a lot of times when I offer advice to people about clearing out their junk I hear “But I paid so much for it, how could I get rid of it!“. Unfortunately, I am sure many people say this as well, because it is a legitimate concern when trying to get rid of all the things that are cluttering up your life. If you own it, you probably paid for it somewhere along the line. However, you can’t think like that if you really want to get yourself organized and clutter-free…you have to re-train your brain to accept the fact that even though you paid for it, it’s OK to get rid of it.
