Preventing the Accumulation of Crap

[neuroman]

Everyone has useless crap they don't need--a box of fair condition Topps baseball cards from 1988, old clothes that are never worn anymore, high school trophies that no longer have any meaning, board games that don't get played, etc.

How much useless crap do you guys have?

Do you ever make any active efforts to get rid of it, like going through your closet to throw out old clothes? Or when you're out shopping, do you ever see a cool looking widget and think to yourself "that would be fun, but after a few weeks it'll just sit around as clutter?"

I think it's pretty amazing how much stuff people have that they don't need (or even use) at all.
