My first port of call was the Tech Dept. and the advice was sage and equally obvious; "Get your important documents into a network fileserver to protect against losing them".
However my old email .pst file weighed in at a healthy 4 gigs so I took the time to clear out the "rubbish" emails... thing is it turns out they were not so "rubbish" after all.
Sure they weren't work related but they were also far from unimportant, it was a real trip down memory lane as I cleaned out those folders, some from as far back as 2004.
I had some chuckles over silly jokes, wondered how I had lost touch with some people and rejoiced over rediscovering them, made mental (and some digital) notes on children’s names, special days and generally pulled my head out own arse and connected with the people and memories that make up my life experience.
It's true that "the whole is only as great as the sum of its parts" so take a hold of the time you have and use it to remember your life and reach out to those people who had a role to play in who you are today...
... guess I'm asking you to "remember to remember"...
