I so get this! I remember some of my huge word cuts feeling so great! I always equate cutting words to giving stuff to Goodwill. Give until it hurts. Then look around and give some more. Seriously. Do you ever really wear that shirt? And you don't need three pairs of blue shoes - even if you do like them all.
