, Gretchen Rubin declutters her home and feels great about it. So great that she pesters her friends into letting her clean out their closets too. I would love to do this, but I don't have much to organize. I stay pretty on top of that by going through my clothes once a year (basically my only possessions). But I do have a huge clutter problem on my computer. Tons of pictures that have doubles or are blurry, 1500 podcasts that I have yet to listen to, doubles and triples of songs... So one of my resolutions is to clean up and organize this computer. It's been bugging me for a long time, but I've just never taken the time to sit down and fix it. Today I started by getting rid of the doubles, triples and sometimes quadruples of pictures in my iphoto library. I think every time I switch computers my pictures get doubled for some reason. When it was all done I had won back more than a gigabyte of hard drive space!

A. You can come declutter my house any time.
B. When I download pictures off a camera into Ipictures it includes all the ones that downloaded before if you haven't deleted pictures. Maybe that is why you have so many the same? I use that original version of image capture that lets you choose, but it doesn't go into Ipictures, you have to put it there.
I just went through and did the same to all my photos! I went from 15,000 to 6,000. Woohoo! My next goal is to organize all my pdfs in papers.
