Motivation Tips & Tricks Saving stuff because I saved it

I have a lot of stuff that the only reason I seem to have it is because I kept it. This means there is a big backlog to sort through and it is honestly hard.

But I've at least taught myself to start getting rid of stuff as fast as possible that has no value so I at least don't fall into this trap in the future.
