I find the concept of the bay leaf very helpful when I'm redrafting.

The bay leaf is something you have in your work - a scene, or a description, or a character that you're attached to - but eventually you realise you have to take it out. You think, 'I really love this scene, and I don't want to remove it, but I don't need it any more. It's not working.' That's fine. It served its purpose - it helped you get to this point, and now you can let it go. It's the bay leaf.

Do not let the day end without having grown a little, without being happy, without having risen your dreams. Do not let yourself be overcome by disappointment. Do not let anyone take away the right to express yourself, which is almost a duty. Do not forsake the yearning to make your life something extraordinary.

Walt Whitman; 1819-1892
