Today I listed a file cabinet on Craigslist and doing that was very difficult. The thoughts of <em>What if I need it in the future</em> kept going through my head. But ultimately I know that I don't use it, and haven't used it in a long time. That's what finally did it for me. Good luck with your purge! And don't forget the minimalist code of <em>If you haven't used it/thought about it in six months, you don't need it!</em> It is tough!
