儲物症候群
卷首語
作者：by Simon Edward Smith
Don’t you just hate it when you go to a friend’s house and not only is there no where to sit but also nowhere to stand. Your friend is constantly saying， “mind that，” “sorry about that，” “just be careful of those” or “just step over that pile”.
Their house is full of clutter and stuff that even though they don’t use they could never bring themselves to get rid of. Hoarders， storers， keepers， whatever you’re called， it’s time you changed your ways. Whatever junk， trinkets， keepsakes or sentimental items you have， the time has come to have a good clear out and start again.
To be honest， writing about letting go of things is incredibly easy for me. I love throwing stuff away and only keeping what I need. Everything in my house has a very small sell-by-date and each month I am always looking around my flat for anything that I don’t really want.
If you think I’m overreacting about all this and believe the 4，000 newspapers you have is just a sign of being a good collector， then think again. But you’re not alone if you do have a habit to hoard. More and more indecisive Americans are actually buying space to store the stuff they don’t know what to do with （Good Stuff）.
