Oh, man. This project is going to be terrifying and... well, it IS terrifying, and it's going to continue to be terrifying.
1) I managed to take 3 CDs full of files from my vid-making (old, old vids, formats that can be put on my website, etc), down to 1 DVD. Though I have found more files to sort through on other discs. Need to add them to the DVD. 2) 4 CDs of projects/assignments from elementary/high school and college, to 1 DVD. 3) 8 CDs storing video files like clips from shows/movies, actor interviews, and movie trailers, plus extra files spread over about another 5 CDs mixed in with other things. After I finish deleting stuff I no longer want/doesn't play for some reason, and then organising them so they make some sense, I should be able to get that down to about 2 DVDs. 4) There are five CDs/DVDs that have "work" stuff on them -- being my website and graphic work and my photography. Those need to be put back on the computer and sorted, and I should be able to fit these onto a single DVD, but I may keep them separate. Also 2 CDs of "My Documents" folders. Should be able to be organised and put on 1 DVD. And then there's the backups I've done for various software. Need to go through those. 5) The most terrifying task of all -- the 20 CDs & DVDs that contain fannish pictures. Celebrities and promotional stills and screen captures from movies and TV. These are almost completely unsorted. I have no idea how many multiples I'll have. This more than anything frightens the pants off me.
I am mildly obsessive-compulsive about my organisation. I don't know how I let this get way from me!
