I don’t know why but I can’t seem to detach myself from my old material things. Things like old and used notebooks covered with doodles, old clothes that either doesn’t fit me anymore or it’s so 90’s I won’t get caught wearing it, used books with doodle notes in them and a whole bunch of other stuffs are all still gathering dusts in my closet. Well, I have already cleaned up majority of my things pre-high school era but for the most part everything’s still with me. Every time I try to organize and clean up my old stuff, I find it hard to throw it away. I always have seemingly valid reasons like “I may use that someday” or “it has sentimental value”. At the end of the day, majority of my old things would go back in my closet and won’t see the light of day until I clean up again.
My hoarding habits has been carried over to the way I keep my digital data. Hard drive space alone, I would need 300GB of space. I need the space for my pictures, music and all other documents. As time passes by, I would need more. Good thing for emails, most email providers are providing unlimited space. And ever since they offered the no space limit feature, I became lazy to delete emails. My main yahoo account has been acquiring emails since forever. And now my Inbox has ballooned to 10,723 emails.
10,00 emails!!!
Now, that’s a whole lot of emails! This is just my non-work email; my work email is a different issue. So when do I plan to delete these messages? I have no idea. This time it’s not because I may “use it someday” or for the “sentimental value” but because I can’t be bothered. I just think it’s too late to organize a 10,000 email-full inbox. It’s something I just show – off to people. LOL
