Re: Preventing the Accumulation of Crap

but there are a lot of other things (textbooks, old computer stuff) that I know I have to get rid of but I have some mental block that prevents me from putting them on ebay or half.com or craigslist.

Yeah I don't know what this is but it happens to me too. Maybe it's related to the sunken cost of the item. Throwing away a textbook you paid $125 for but is now worth almost nothing perhaps makes you feel like you wasted money. If you don't throw the textbook away though, you can remain happily in denial?
