+*** Kill old buffers after a while
+
+Adapted from =midnight-mode=, using suggestions from [[https://old.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/l6jpxf/how_do_emacs_users_usually_have_multiple_files/gl2249u/][u/ndamee]].

+#+end_src
+
+What time I run the clean up is a little tricky for me, since I use
+Emacs at work /and/ at home, and all at different times.  However, I
+realized that since I close out of Emacs at work pretty much every
+day, I don't need to worry about too many buffers there -- so I just
+have =clean-buffer-list= run at 8:00 PM.
