As you go through life you start collecting a lot of clutter - should you keep your college books and notes, souvenirs from your travels, various pieces of paper you collect that might one day be important, photos etc?
Generally you should try to be a minimilist - "if in doubt, throw it out". The more stuff you collect over the years the less room your brain has to absorb new material. Think about your clothes closet - if you can clear out shirts you haven't worn for over a year (and its not a tux or a special occasions outfit) than get rid of it. The only thing you really need to collect over the years is the contact details of the friends you make. A linkedin, myspace or facebook account can help you manage these.
As the joke goes - if a cluttered desk represents a cluttered mind, what does an clear desk represent? The clear mind will help you think through ideas and also will stop you from finding excuses of why not to get started.
