How goes the decluttering? Have you managed to rehome anything? Find a stash of things that were no better than rubbish, and bin them? Clear out a stash and now have an empty space? Anything, small or large, physical or virtual, counts as a win!

I've started (finally) decluttering my digital photos. I decided to start doing it in parts. First is importing all my photos into Digikam. I'm grouping them roughly by date/location so it's not all in one huge folder. I have a tag system set up in Digikam and I plan to go through each album and bulk tag photos. Then I'll go through the TAGS and decide what photos to keep.

It's a little backwards maybe because tagging photos I plan to delete is a bit of a waste of energy. However, I have a lot of photos of cats (for instance) across multiple months. I'd rather be able to look at ALL the photos of a particular cat from across several months and pick out the best ones, as that way I think I'll have fewer photos that look basically the same.
