1. If you define your self worth in terms of usefulness to others, it really sucks when you retire and can't do stuff for others any more.
2. NEVER pay for storage of stuff, you'll end up purging most of it anyway, or your heirs will.
3. The words of the philosopher Jagger are profound:
You can't always get what you want,
But, if you try, sometimes you might find
You get what you need
4. Keeping a diary, the times I did it, are fun to re-read... I wish I had done it more. You can never take too many photos, if in doubt... take the picture, you'll not get the chance again later.
- 1oooqooq 2y agowhere do you keep your pictures today? with the take all pictures and don't store much stuff philosophy, i felt you're the right person to ask for advice on this.
- mikewarot 2y agoOk, disk space is essentially free... I've got 700 gigabytes of photos, because, unlike atoms, they really don't cost much to store. I don't pay other people to store them, though. I use Backblaze to back up whole machines, which is flat rate.
- nunez 2y agoDiaries are super important. Sometimes you need an outlet to say things that you can't or won't say to others. They're also perfect for cataloging your life and memories, even mundane, normal days. I started ten years ago but started writing daily three years ago. Wish I did it sooner, like, during middle school.
