Do you have those jobs which really need to be done but for the life of you, you just can’t summons up the enthusiasm to get on with them? I do, I have quite a long list of jobs around the house which I keep sweeping under the carpet but today I finally pulled one out, dusted it off and finished it! The feeling of achievement was brilliant, especially since I could actually ‘see’ how well I had done. You see, 18 months ago Hubby bought me an external hard drive to store all of my photographs and music onto but I didn’t really consider how I was going to use it. Once a month (or whenever I remembered) I would run a back up of my laptop and think nothing more of it. He had bought me 1TB so I had plenty of storage space right? WRONG! Instead of doing an incremental backup each time, I had been doing a full backup and so I was storing the same information over and over again. But I also moved things around on my laptop and deleted stuff so I couldn’t be sure what I had and where I had it. Today I sat for the majority of the day and evening, sorting out folders, deleting duplicates and having a good old sort out of my External Hard-drive AND my laptop. The result was that my laptop is now faster than ever and my Hard-drive is less than 1 quarter full so I’ve got plenty more space to take lots of lovely photographs!! Watch this space . . .
