#14My favorite method of getting rid of possesions is just sell the 10% you use the least. Then repeat on the remaining stuff. The first iteration is pretty easy. Once you actually experience how little you miss the items the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc iterations come naturally.

#15Maybe it's just me, but I can't relate to a feeling of "guilt" simply because I haven't used something in a while. I'm not attached to my stuff, I just don't care as long as the place doesn't look cluttered.
The only reason I have to toss stuff (that's paid for) is if it takes up too much space. And I have acres of storage room.
