Last week, I listed my Plans for 2025. One was "Decluttering computer and hardcopy files"
I’ve just come across the following in Plans for 2015:
“What to let go of to start the year anew?
Old projects that never got past the background info-gathering stage, or what’s left of those that have been excerpted for better projects."
At the time I mentioned that would be a lot of paper to be recycled out of binders and files, and a lot of MBs of computer memory to be cleared.
In my Review of 2015 a year later, decluttering wasn’t even mentioned. And it’s quite possible I could have a GB of jpegs I can get rid of by now. Plus dozens more works on paper...
However, I have now begun the project. The cannibalized picture file above contains some of the remnants (now deleted) of the files I used in my book, The Fine Art of Physics. And I’ve made a small start on cutting or tearing up watercolour paintings and sketches for cards or collage…
