Two self-created folders. The bottom one, HOME’s BIG 5 has five subfolders. Four of those then have subfolders. Many of those also have subfolders. Roughly hundreds of folders and subfolders, and thousands of emails. Deleted. Fear be damned. Surrendering to “i may need this sometime”. Banking on good judgement for keeping only the “i may need this sometime” folders.
Do you have a mentor who has, or is, coaching you on shedding?
Informally, yes.
Watched my In-Laws shed over maybe a decade.
The farther into the ‘shedding’ decade, the more frequent and thorough the shedding.
Each time it began innocently with something like, “Tomorrow, can we go up in the attic and have you decide if there’s anything you want to take back to Florida?”
Cheryl’s Mom always initiated.
Cheryl’s Dad, to my memory, didn’t participate in any shedding. This absence was likely his advanced (or blanket) acknowledgment that he trusted Cheryl’s Mom. And that he had no desire to keep ‘old, important’ things. Whatever important things he needed, they would be few and probably within easy reach.
