This is a reminder that life is so short and tomorrow is not a guarantee. In fact, there's no promise by anyone that I will be alive later today! It's not up to me. It's important to do what matters the most to me every day and to not put off to tomorrow what may be done today.
I should take my own advice as I didn't do that yesterday. There was a discussion about putting up the Christmas lights outside and I didn't want to do it. I didn't have any other plans; I just didn't want to do that. I was fooling myself because when I get home from work today, the Christmas lights will be put up outside. Should I have just gotten the work done yesterday? Probably. It's not easy to consider the broader picture when it comes to something small like this example. I don't know what the right answer is regarding all of this. Just to set the table and spell out what I think about, this is an incomplete list of projects I think I will complete.
- I want to create a single set of files for our family pictures. Literally, there are 500,000 JPG files that are misnamed, incorrectly named, and duplicates exist like crazy.
- I want to create a single set of files for my MP3s. I recently took on this task from the perspective that if I ensured each folder only had one file that stared with 01_*, I could reasonably assume that I don't have any duplicates in that folder. I have also divided my MP3 folders into sub-folders:
- Spindles 01-10 - this is complete
- Spindles 11-20 - I was working on these folders yesterday
- Spindles 21-30
- Spindles 31-40
- Spindles 41-50
- Spindles 51-60
- I want to finish converting Spindle 60 and work towards completing the spindles I have qued up in the den - Spindles
- 61
- 62
- 63
- 64
- 65
- 66
- 67
- 68
- 69
- I also have a stack of papers with notes about MP3s that were not in an expected folder. For example, I have the Billy Joel - Live at Shea Stadium 2 CD release and in the folder with the MP3s for CD-01, I don't have tracks 6 and 8. It's the craziest thing. I even did a search across all of my EHDs yesterday, using DOS commands:
- F
- I
- J
- L
- O
- P
- Y
- Z
