You should get rid of things with a "modicum" (tiny amount) of useful value. Your space and mental energy is used up just having it there.

You have to keep track of it or it's not useful at all. That takes energy that you could use for something else. Restfully relaxing in a clean room is worth a lot.

I don’t agree with everything you’ve said, but I hear you. Old habits die hard. I grew up with very little available to me. It ingrained this model I have now which is more difficult to shed. It is a constant battle to reduce what I have around, but then that nag of “I might need that” speaks up and it forces the internal struggle.

I have made headway there, as I now have a decision tree I push through to keep or rid myself of stuff, but the struggle continues.
