For example, do you have a collection of gourmet cooking tools or cookbooks because you think you "should" become a better cook?
Or do you have massive quantities of scrapbooking supplies because you think you "should" make scrapbooks for your family?
How about all those skinny clothes because you "should" lose weight?
Have you become the recipient of antiques or collectibles that you "should" keep for sentimental sake? Or sell on ebay?
I'm not saying that these are not noble ideals. But don't keep things just because you "should." If your heart is not in it, why keep the clutter?
Get rid of that load of guilt by getting rid of those things you "should" do something with! Feeling lighter already? Then, go ahead, find another home for them.
