Why did I buy a gadget I know I'll never use?

Re: Bags full of the stuff

Best advice ever, for paper, but also works for junk:

Box under desk. If you're unsure whether you need to keep/ file a piece of paper, toss it in the box.

When the box is full, tape it shut, date it, stick it in a closet, and start a new one.

If the box hasn't been opened in x months, toss it in the trash.

Once or twice I've had to dig out something, but it's exceedingly rare.
