Stuff,Stuff,Stuff.... I might just need it some day....

Are you a pack rat like me?   Confessions are good for the soul they say.    I think the challenge I have is trying to break the habit of keeping "stuff", 'cause I may need it tomorrow, or next month, or ....

The past year I have gone through a change -- by accomplishing various levels of focus upon PURGING.    Mainly paper, (I have numerous filing cabinets).   I must say I have made major strides in the cleansing process.   However, efforts have been sidelined, and Stuff is starting to accumulate again.   

One area that I have not looked into yet is electronic Stuff.   My goodness, I have tons of PC files that have not been touched for years / been copied over from old PC to new PC to newer PC. 

While I have not done any cleansing electonically, I have successfully developed a new strategy on emails -- I create my own trash can FILE (I don't trust the system generated one).   Unless I MUST keep it for some reason, after being read it goes to MY-Trash-Can.  Every few weeks I purge everything except the last few days.  At least I can recover something trashed if I threw it away yesterday.
