My philosophy is that deleting is as important as organizing. If I can't bring myself to delete something, then I have to turn it into something. If I don't want to use it and I don't want to delete it then it's a stagnation in my life and I need to assess that stagnation.

I second this. Sometimes I get sick of how much stuff I have saved on my To Check Out Later list. So I'll get to deleting. But it pains me that I'm so callous to my former self that saved all these things. I'm reminded of a Mitch Hedberg quote. I sit at my hotel at night, I think of something that's funny, then I go get a pen and I write it down. Or if the pen's too far away, I have to convince myself that what I thought of ain't funny.
