204 // Hate to Feel Wasteful? 3 Ways You Brain Tricks You Into Keeping What You Don’t Need

Do you struggle to let go of things because you see a potential use for them? Do you keep things in your house because you don’t want them ending up in the landfill?

While our desire not to be wasteful is often rooted in positive values such as resourcefulness, frugality, and environmental responsibility, there are three cognitive biases that skew these values to cause us to hold onto what is no longer serving us.

In today’s episode, we’ll dive into them and teach you how to reframe your thoughts so you can make decluttering easier.

I was inspired by the book The Hoarder In You by Dr. Robin Zasio when preparing this episode.
