Too much clutter?

Don't organize it; get rid of it. Merlin Mann of 43folders.com writes about de-cluttering the way it should be done...

from My War on Clutter: The Tools to Purge BIG:

"My past attempts at removing clutter have consistently bottlenecked at a few common points. Often I wasn’t really committed to the idea of a full purge, so I’d ignore whole boxes of memorabilia. Other times, my goal was primarily aesthetic, so I’d end up shoveling things into pretty boxes and “organizers”. But I finally realized what’s really been stopping me from accomplishing anything substantial. It’s so simple and so dumb that I’m embarrassed to admit it: my garbage can was too small."
