I have the opposite "problem" of most of these people -- I can't wait to throw things out that clutter up the place or are of no immediate useful purpose. The more open and clutter-free my living space is, the better I feel about things. I can't imagine keeping old magazines, newspapers, etc. If there is an article I think might provide some useful info, I know that the same info is likely online somewhere, so there is no point keeping the analogue version of it on a bookshelf. Cool little trinkets that might provide some entertainment or conversation value can be kept so long as they have a place that won't get in the way.

But generally speaking, I can't stand clutter. If I have to walk around it, or move it out of the way to get to something useful, then it is gone.
