Are you one of those people that keep everything? You know what I’m talking about. You have souvenirs and junk from different times of your life everywhere. As in…a garage, closet, or yard barn full of stuff. It’s funny because you say you’re might use it one day. I mean…heck…you never know when you’re going to need extra pieces of scrap metal or electric candles.
I am definitely NOT one of those people. As a matter of fact, I usually make fun of people that do things like that because it’s amazing the amount of junk that you accumulate.
That being said, I had a revelation yesterday. I have become a pack rat. Not the kind that keeps things laying around the house that I might use one day. I’m part of a new breed of pack rats. I am a digital pack rat.
I realized yesterday that I have three hard drives full of stuff. Examples of some things on there…word documents from five years ago, over 1000 podcasts, and even logos that I designed when I lived in Kentucky. It is an amazing collection of videos, pictures, music, and documents.
So what am I going to do now that I’ve discovered it? It’s time to go through it all and delete! I very well may delete 500 GB of stuff. It should be fun.
So what kinds of things do you keep laying around that you are probably never gonna use? (like the massaging yoga ball in my closet). What do you have around your house that you haven’t used in over five years? What’s in your junk drawer? (For those of you new to responding to blogs, click “comments” below and you can respond. It will only take a minute.).
