Agreed with all except that I'm making excuses. By that I mean it's great advice for most things in life that you want to do.

My point is that in this instance I just don't care. Not enough anyway. I could do exactly as you describe to minimize the cost but the value gain is so minimal that it doesn't warrant the effort. Simple cost/benefit analysis with the result being that the cost is too high (even if it's really low).

On the contrary, I think removing extraneous crap from your life is one of the highest value activities that you can possibly engage in.
Yes, but I don't think that. I live in the midwest. I have a copious amount of space. Having extraneous crap doesn't bother me much at all as I hardly ever see it.

One of the highest value activities for me is spending time with my kid. It's a hard sell that getting ridding of extraneous crap is worth it if it costs me even 10 minutes I could have instead been spending with my kid.

Why do you value getting rid of crap so highly?
