Clutter: The Reason Why You May Be Unable to Move Forward by Sylvia Duncan

Last month, I took on a task that I’ve been putting off for some time; I cleaned out several closets that were becoming stuffed with stuff.  While doing so, I discovered something about me; I discovered that I had a little bit of a “storing” problem.  Now, I know what you’re thinking, but I didn’t say hoard ing problem , I said stor ing problem , as in , just put it away until you can find a purpose for it later . You know how it goes; you look at an item you’re thinking of tossing and you say to yourself, “I could use this for something”, so you put it away and wait for the time when you really could use it , and w hen that time comes, you ’re glad you had the good sense to “store” such a useful item .
