Recently I had to move and sort out stuff I had owned since my childhood, until most of it fit into 4 large suitcases. It took me quite a few days, spread out over a couple months, and it was painful, but it's probably much better now.
I kept a lot of useless stuff when you look at it: I can't throw out my old ID cards, old class pictures, yearbooks, a couple of action figures from childhood.
Had to get rid of my old consoles; I set the throwaway limit at when it stops being possible to emulate it. So my NES, SNES and N64 were given away, and I play the ROMs on PC, but I had to keep my PS2.
If it's technology, and works, I either have to keep it or give it to someone. I've given out a couple small mp3 players.
But stuff like cables and adapters is where I have trouble. I must have 6 mini-B USB cables, and tons of other stuff that's there 'just in case'.
