I’ve been sick lately

so I haven’t been able to do any physical rummaging or decluttering. 

But what I have been doing is sorting through my files on my macbook pro and my 5 hard drives. I hate that I even have 5 hard drives. 

Maybe a month ago I realised I needed a better way to store my photos for work. I was hoping to delete enough files on the 3 hard drives I already had but I knew this was never going to be a permanent solution and I also came to the realisation that I didn’t want my work mixed in with everything else so I bought 2 drives to keep them separate. 

So I have been organising and deleting old files and this is my current set-up:

Drive 1 - backs up the macbook pro

Drive 2 - extra space for personal and non-work related files

Drive 3 - backs up drive 2

Drive 4 - work photos and files

Drive 5 - backs up drive 4

It’s the same principle with decluttering and minimising, everything needs a home and everything needs to be organised. It’s so much easier when you have room and space to organise whether it’s physical items or digital files.
