For example,<br> receipts and other paper records can be stored in a file box. Seasonal items,<br> such as winter clothing, can be put in the basement. You can even rent a<br> local storage unit to help with decluttering. But what about stuff that exists electronically? These days, many important records &#8212; vacation pictures, tax receipts, home videos, school documents, etc. &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>are in the form of PDFs, JPEGs, and other electronic formats. Having those<br> reside entirely on your computer is risky. What if your computer crashes?<br> Someone smart once said, &#8220;A computer file isn&#8217;t a file until it&#8217;s in two places.&#8221;<br> So, the solution is to store your important electronic documents in a second<br> place. Here are the most common options:<br> \u2022 Portable storage. These are data storage devices that fit in the palm<br> of your hand. For most homes, 1T (terabyte) of memory is plenty.<br> \u2022 Cloud storage. Box, DropBox, and iCloud are the biggest players<br> here. The advantage of storing your documents &#8220;in the cloud&#8221; is that,<br> unlike portable storage, you can&#8217;t damage or lose it.<br> \u2022 Large backup units. These larger units continuously backup your files<br> so you don&#8217;t even have to think about it.<br> Whatever option you choose, the important thing is to have a duplicate or<br> backup of your important files, so you never have to worry about losing them.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope this helps with the household clean up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Karen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many storage options for your household items.
