(´ー`;) do eetttt.... i finally got around to sorting through my thousands of files and deleting all of the duplicates i had. it took me a couple weeks on and off of working through them, but eventually i got through it and it feels so good to have my stuff organized and (mostly) named now. it was a grueling, miserable process, but worth it. pop some music on and it might help it go by more smoothly. i know where everything is and can find what i need with minimal effort, and it's all in "one place" so i don't have to plug in my externals and go through a bunch of unsorted folders fumbling about helplessly trying to find what i'm looking for. by "one place" i don't mean in one folder, but my files aren't all scattered about haphazardly anymore.

Most images I manage to categorize into different folders (one of them is a massive wallpaper folder), but I usually throw unsorted stuff into the default Saved Images, or leave them to rot in my Downloads. It's lazy, but one of these days I'll get around to sorting them out. ...Eventually Reference: 2024/06/17(Mon) 10:17:10
