Is it worth the risk to throw out some of the junk that is cluttering up my desk drawers? Just moments ago I was looking through the drawers to find something when I realised how much junk had gathered. I’m usually quite fussy about things like that and usually have one drawer for my Mac booklets and cleaning stuff, another for stationary, another for my camcorder tapes, another for various other instruction manuals. I have also realised that if I could free up even half of one drawer it should allow the clutter to go down just enough so that things can actually be found without everything being pulled out and set on top of the desk only to be squeezed back inside ready for the next time I need something.

Is it true that theory that if you have something that sits and gathers dust for years and years suddenly becomes necessary the day after you decide to just throw it out? If I take the user guide for my phone and throw it away along with some set-up discs from my 4-year old laptop will I wake up tomorrow to find my phone not working and my laptop asking for some disc it hasn’t seen since the first day it was bought to be inserted to keep the thing alive?

Hmm… Maybe I’ll leave things as they are for a little while longer and see what happens. Maybe the next time I pull everything out of the drawers I’ll sift through the junk and toss it into a rubbish bag and sent it flying 18 stories down the garbage shoot in my building and to hell with the consequences.
