5 ways to tell you don't need to keep it

“Three Rules of Work: Out of clutter find simplicity; From discord find harmony; In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” - Albert Einstein


1. You haven’t looked at it/used it/worn it since last year

2. You are spring cleaning your room, which you haven’t for the last 6 months. You are going through your stuff. You are not looking for anything specific, but you find something and you go, “Oh, here you are!”

3. You even forget you actually own it, until someone mentions it to you, “Didn’t you use to have that…”

4. You get something nice, but haven’t anything that matches it. So you want to go out and get something that goes with it. My advice, don't.

5. You use the word expressions like “One day” or “One of these days” to describe it ie “One day, I will find a use for it” or “One of these days, I’ll find the time to learn it” or “I’ll repair it one day”. Trust me, if that day didn’t come in the last 6 months, it will not come.
