Am I Keeping This “Just in Case”?

May 20, 2026 by Ruth Hadlock

Streamlined Space, Streamlined Solutions, Ruth Hadlock, am I keeping this just in case, letting go

My clients love this powerful concept from theminimalists.com~

(paraphrashed) If you’re holding onto an item “just in case” but rarely use it, you can let it go if it can be replaced for less than $20 in under 20 minutes.

This doesn’t refer to heirlooms.  It refers to items you keep “in case they may be useful someday to someone,” even though they haven’t been useful to you yet.

This is about letting go of fear that keeps us holding onto things that don’t serve us.

TIP: Very simply, ask yourself “Am I keeping this item just in case?”
