It's Saturday

...and I'm packing up my office for Monday's move.  Before I got started, I thought, "this is a good opportunity to go through all my stuff and throw away/recycle the stuff I know that I'll no longer need/use.  But laziness is setting in.  Now I'm just thinking, "those boxes over there that I never unpacked: I'll just take them to the new office."  Then I don't have to open them, sort through them, etc.  Just stick a label on them and they'll come along with me.

When I thought that I realized that's the way it is with all deferred debt.  Product bugs, crufty code, etc.  And if we give in to the natural tendency we end up dragging along a big pile of stuff that hampers our ability to be agile.  And it's so easy.  Especially for someone lazy like me.

So will I give in?  I don't know yet.  It's lunch time.  I'll put off the decision until after lunch.
