  • This story illustrates the funny but real urge to save items for a future imaginary life.

Myth of Someday-Maybe Life

  • We often keep items for a "someday-maybe" life not lived in the present.
  • These imagined lives do not match our actual current lifestyle, making the saved items unnecessary.
ADVICE

Ask If You'd Repurchase Today

  • Ask yourself if you'd buy an item again today to let go of unnecessary things.
  • This helps you declutter items bought for an imagined someday-maybe lifestyle.
