Ep. 538: Set a Tripwire, Decide If You Need the Storage Unit & Do You Use that Gizmo?

from Happier with Gretchen Rubin · host Gretchen Rubin / The Onward Project

We talk about why it can be helpful to set a tripwire for making a decision or moving forward. We also discuss a Secret of Adulthood that’s very relevant to the practice of keeping a storage unit (even one that’s not really needed), and a know-yourself-better question related to the use of gadgets and gizmos.
