Feeling sentimental about our stuff is a big reason that many of us keep more than we can manage. In episode #42 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, examines the rationalizations we use to hold on to things that we should logically let go and suggests an approach to decision-making that balances sentimental value with our real-world conditions of time, space, and resources.
