122: Living for Later? How Future-Based Storage Affects Us Now (Storage Series)

In this episode of the Storage Series, we explore the sneaky ways future-based thinking affects what we keep. From saving items for the “next house,” “the kids,” or “retirement,” we often hold onto things that don’t reflect our current reality. This conversation invites listeners to challenge the stories we attach to stored belongings and offers thoughtful ways to reconnect with what we truly need today—not just someday.

In this episode we talk about:

• The most common future-focused reasons people store things
• How to recognize when storage is based on hope, guilt, or fear
• Practical ways to shift toward storage that serves the present moment

Mentioned in this episode:

• The “Review in 6 Months” strategy for guilt-free decision delays
• Tips for talking with loved ones about items “saved for them”
• Episode 114: Storage vs. Stalling—Are You Keeping It or Postponing a Decision?
