We get overwhelmed by the sentimental clutter because we think of the object as being the … [Read more...] about Procrastination Remedies: Fear of Letting Go

This is the fifth post in a series on procrastination remedies. In the previous post, I began talking about what to do when you feel overwhelmed because your system is broken. Remember, a broken system is one that doesn’t work very well, so it is difficult to use. In the last post, I talked about making a list of all the steps, then figuring out where the breakdowns are. I said that some systems break down because the tools they use are in inconvenient locations.
