After reading Green Daily’s lies we tell ourselves about clutter, I realize I have been less than honest with my flotsam and jetsam. By no means am I a pack rat. However, I do have stashes here and there that really could be pared down considerably. My craft supplies, for instance. Some of that stuff I haven’t used in years, but in the back of my mind I just KNOW that as soon as I give it away or throw it out, I’ll need it. Whatever ‘it’ is. Perhaps it’s time to get honest about the situation and trim the fat. If you need to go on a stuff diet too, check out these lies we tell ourselves about clutter. Do any of them sound familiar?
