RE: e-hoarding?

in Reflections11 months ago

Without an "e" I tend to be a hoarder but definitely not because I want my place filled with unnecessary stuff just because I'm too cheap to throw them away. Quite the opposite, I like my place clean. It's just that being handy and DIYer I can repurpose or upcycle most of them. Last time I had to change place at a short notice I threw away things that others would consider priceless but let's not remember that and how it all happened.
Speaking about the "e" world, I also keep my disks as clean as possible but internet helps so much more on that as there's very specific things one really needs to save on their machines - the rest can be found elsewhere. Still I do have some pretty old stuff saved but as long as their size is small and their number is not crazy...why not?
I found the term "e-hoarder" spot on but funny as well. At the end of the day our e-world kinda "suffers" from the habits we have developed in the "real" one.

I also have things I don't throw away as i know at some point I'm going to need and use them. I'm not the throw away and buy new ones type of person, I like to reuse and recycle, so I understand what you mean, perfectly, and agree too.

My next big cleaning job will be the photos. I take at least 2 shots, always and promise myself to delete what I don't need, then never have the time 😂 so one nice sunny day, I have to do it 😕

I try to focus on the first shot to avoid that. And you know, that nice sunny day you'd like to be outdoors rather than deleting photos 🙂
Enjoy your days in any case!

Lol, you're right, but there's a saying in Hungarian, that's why I mentioned the sunny day.

Have a nice weekend :)
