There are areas in your home, or like the dining-room table,that must be cleared off before they can be used for their intended purpose.
You save things often, because you are concerned approximately how you will feel if you need them in the future when you no longer have them.
You often save things without a clear idea of how you will employ them in the future.
You still have items that you once bought with the intention of giving them absent as gifts.
You have boxes of possessions that have moved with you from home to home but you've never gone through.
You often buy multiples of the same item because you forget you have it.
You feel helpless when faced with a reliable deal, or even if it's a deal on something you don't need.
You acquire free things,like toiletries from hotels, that you never wind up using.
