568 - Responding Responsibly to a “Waste Not, Want Not” Mentality - Part 2
Manage episode 365306757 series 1085979
How do you start a conversation with someone who says that absolutely everything is valuable and should be cherished? Especially when that means that you, not they, should be the person to make space for it?
Kathi and her friend Cheri Gregory are returning today for the second part of their discussion on how to respond responsibly to another person who has a “waste not, want not” mentality. Here are their tips for how to keep the peace without keeping all the stuff:
- For people living in your household, give each person their own space and they can keep what they want in that space.
- Have agreed upon standards for cleanliness, maintenance tasks, and decorating budgets.
- If someone says, “I can fix that,” set a time and have a plan for getting that item fixed. Consider whether or not fixing a particular item is enjoyable and worth the time.
- Realize that you may not agree or change the other person’s mind, and you can still keep boundaries around your own space and belongings.
