Summary

The Minimalists discuss the three most dangerous words in the world—Just. In. Case.—and they answer the following questions:

How do I address a hoard of just-in-case items I’ve stashed for use at work? (10:22)

How can boundaries help with just-in-case items? (14:28)

How do you address the ‘I-told-you-so’ crowd regarding just-in-case items you purged that you must purchase again? (27:31)
