This becomes exhausting. Like, it becomes its own workload. There are some decent workflow tools for iPad that make it tolerable to work on while vegging out in

  Agreed. $10 for some TBs is much cheaper than the time I spend deciding if I will need something or not. Very similar to just buying a few more items at the grocery than I normally would. My time is so incredibly important that it's not worth $20 in wasted items to have to potentially drive back there if I've missed something. If I don't have as much time as possible to spend on working/innovating/personal health and family, my income source will dry up and then I'm in dire straits ;)

  Yeah, a few times I've tried to prune my collection of photos/ripped-mp3s/movies/whatever. I've always given up after I'm 1 hour in and still have like 98% of the collection to go. It is kinda like how the old Yahoo-organized-like-a-library died out in favor of the Google-just-search-everything approach. Unless you're triaging as you go (which still takes tons of time; do people really go through 1,000 photos after their 3 week holiday to Iceland and keep just the 15-20 best?) it is easy to build up an insurmountable backlog where the only viable option is just "delete everything". I actually did that with my old collection of ripped-from-CD mp3s and just resigned myself to streaming anything I really cared about. But you can't exactly do that with "family photos".
