Decluttering and the Stories We Tell Ourselves | The Real Reason Why You Save Stuff

<p>Decluttering and the stories we tell ourselves is about the crazy things we do and the stuff we keep so others will "like us better." Here's the real reason why you save stuff you'll never use.<br /> And why do you waste precious time and money trying to impress people you only "kind of know?"<br /> Do you volunteer to bring baked dishes to church or social events? Do you go out of your way, or spend money you don't have for all the wrong reasons?<br /> When you change the story you tell yourself about your reasons why, decluttering becomes a breeze.</p> <p>Today's Ask a House Cleaner sponsor is Savvy Cleaner Training and certification for house cleaners and maids.
