From Episode 616 of Roderick on the Line with @hotdogsladies and John Roderick:
"I spread out all my backstage passes from my career in show business on the kitchen table. I was looking for inspiration for a collage where I would put them in a picture frame where they would be incredibly awesome to the people I never ever invite over to my house."
This is the kind of stuff that troubles me most. The stuff of minimal value today that might have value tomorrow. In a weird way Make Magazine was terrible for my office because it encouraged me that cool things could be made out of broken repurposed technology. In reality it meant I was warehousing a lot of refuse that would be better discarded.
I am trying to deal with those things of > 0 value but < very much value . Yes, this screw or O ring might be useful someday but if need arises I'll never find this specific one so just chuck everything. Your future self and whoever cleans out your shit when you die will thank you.
