How To Decide To Get Rid Of Something, Or Not

Ok, yeah.

I struggle with this.

I attach a physical thing to a memory and get sentimental about it all.

Throwing a thing away, donating it, or selling it becomes getting rid of a memory.

Even though that is not how it works.

So how can you decide if something is worth keeping?

This might be a good question to consider:

“If I didn’t already own this, how much would I spend to buy it?” This usually does the trick.”

–Greg McKeown, Essentialism
