Haha. We do that with our kids’ old toys - rarely comes into play, but saves much heartache when it does. There’s a similar trick for papers covering your desk

There’s a similar trick for papers covering your desk; without looking, shove them all in a Manila folder, date, and seal. If you haven’t felt compelled to open it in three months, throw it away without opening.
Admittedly the utility depends on how much you/your office likes paper. Or if you go to an office.

If you haven’t felt compelled to open it in three months, throw it away without opening. My family moved into our house when I was 3. Around age 9 we were going to finish the basement and a stack of boxes from the move came into discussion. When I proposed the idea, it was not really considered by my parents. I've proposed it again to my wife after a move or two, and again she didn't take me up on it. Maybe someday I'll get to give the method a shot.

- yojo 4y agoThis was specific to work-in-the-office desks, which I never bring my personal papers to. But yes, don’t try this with your home office!
