bintherapy
/ˈbɪnˌθɛrəpi/nounVerified NewThe purchase of storage containers as a substitute for decisions about what to keep.
The breakthrough is always the same: buy baskets, label them, and the problem is postponed in a matching set. Bintherapy feels like progress because it produces order-shaped objects, and the clutter returns to fill whatever was bought. The bins themselves become the next purge's inventory.
Etym. — bin + therapy — retail as treatment, symptoms unchanged.
