If you cannot keep up with entropy on a regular basis, through the practice of disciplined husbandry, provided you do not want to be overcome by the cumulative effects of entropy, you must reduce, discard or even abandon pursuits in order to fit the demands for practicing husbandry to fit the capabilities of time. However, it is far better, with a greater likelihood of reaching a temporary state of Zero Entropy by the daily (or short duration) practice of husbandry. You can manage entropic reduction, within the limits of energy, attention and time constraints, if you keep up in small doses of extraction, with self discipline on a daily basis. The benefits of this effort will be immediately visible, which furthers motivation through actual achievement, and, if your structure and husbandry method is appropriate, the opportunity for entropic ramification is significantly diminished. Thus, you must reduce entropy with regular, disciplined vigor, or succumb to its accumulation. There is no third option."

How right he IS! Finally after a couple of decades of hoarding ... or accumulating ... or letting life run over me over much--I cleaned out several rented storage units and gave/tossed most of what would not fit in my van. It was quite freeing, actually.
