Every once and a while I'll try to curate my parts bin, tossing bulky or unused items that I haven't needed.

Every time I find myself needing some seemingly dumb part from what I got rid of a month or two later.

I still try to clean up, fully knowing I'll need that thing later. Its rough.

I toss based on how hard I feel it will be to get it back, and just accept it as part of the cost of life.

Still can be annoying, though.
