I read this quite a bit on the r/DataHoarder subreddit, where users obtain vast amounts of all-in-one content (such as archival projects, piracy, etc) and the data isn't sufficiently organized/cataloged and it becomes too overwhelming to where they feel freed without it. (Granted the subreddit is named Data Hoarder and the focus is often grabbing volumes of data before it disappears). What helps for sure is like you mentioned in taking things at a more curated pace, where one can organize individual pieces of content at the time it's encountered (eg: saving a web page locally you want to refer/link back to in the future, or buying some music when one likes it and properly/consistently tagging it). I have tens of thousands of web pages saved for example and it's a wonderful resource as search engines have become poorer for many results and sites/pages disappear. Due to the habits formed over time with filenaming/organization it's also super quick to find resources locally.
