5. Declutter Computer Stuff

So, this is always a big one too. There are cables that might come in handy. There are the instruction manuals that might be needed some day. There are the cds and dvds of software that might be useful. There are all sorts of things... So, today I decluttered the little mountain of computer paraphernalia (that would be a good spelling bee word!).

I got rid of all the disks relating to my old computer. I got rid of manuals from two computers ago. I got rid of little boxes and containers which used to hold a new webcam or whatever. I got rid of anything that didn't relate to the computer that is actually sitting on my desk. Amazing how much space that created!! Amazing how many disks my old computer came with! I found cables that were for my old personal organizer, which bit the bucket a year or two ago.

Now I have quite the pile of stuff to go to Staples or to the electronic recycling bin. I'm not sure where they will go... just that they will go... In the meantime, there is a mountain of stuff starting to form in the basement... what with Value Village boxes, Second Hand Bookstore Boxes and Electronic Recycling boxes...

It feels good though, feels like I'm letting go of a lot of useless things and creating some space for other stuff to show up!
