As a member of the Association of Personal Photo Organizers, JMC was recently sent an article about Digital Hoarding, a disorder that can develop as computers are able to store more and more data. Are you afraid of deleting emails, photos, videos, or other one-of-a-kind digital items? Do you hold onto e-books and keep music files whether you plan to ever read or listen to them again?
Amazing as it may seem, disorganization can become Digital Hoarding, a real disorder. Josh Zerkel, professional organizer, says the problem has gotten worse since storage on hard drives has become less and less costly. Take a look at the article at http://hereandnow.wbur.org/2012/04/12/digital-hoarder-computer for his tips about becoming organized and avoiding hoarding.
We often recommend external hard-drives for backing up your files and keeping a safe copy of photo images. It is good to keep in mind, though, that a seemingly-endless storage tote for photos can cause the unintended feeling of being overwhelmed. Keep ‘em organized and easy to find when you are looking for them! As always, we are happy to help!
Memories Matter!
