I don't recommend the following, but it's a story that was shared by a friend about another friend.
This person would keep everything in boxes, which he dated. Every time he opened a box he'd cross out the old date and replaced it with the current date. It was a way to always know the last time he'd looked in the box.
Any time he came across a box that he hadn't opened in a year he threw it out without looking at it's contents. I guess he figured if a year went by without him needing anything in it he could do without it forever.
Very bad for record keeping. Very good for living in the moment.
