I used to preserve and organise all my digital life as well, but at some point I found it really liberating to just let things go. Storage might be cheap, but maintaining a comprehensive archive takes effort which could be better spent on future projects. In fact, I realised that treating historical data as ephemeral helps me achieve more and obsess less about perfection.
Of course this is just my personal opinion, different approaches work for different people.
- tvanantwerp 8y agoAgree. I've spent a lot of time quantifying and logging parts of my life in the past, but I wasn't using the data to guide future action. So anything I track that isn't helping me achieve something, I now stop tracking.
- poisonborz 8y agoIts trivial and easy to log this data, just use the data export on each service (GDPR helped a lot). The time investment is in mining this data meaningfully, and I also get this type of sentiment as well.
