Our company are having the offices repainted over the next few months. The plan is that team is moving out to a different building and the rest of us will move around the space while the painting happens. Obviously, this means that there will be a lot of "stuff" to be boxed up. But for the second year running, we've just had a "Data Detox Day", where we are encouraged to ditch old paperwork and electronic files. Our office is pretty good, as we're a small team and don't collect much by way of external data, but other teams are busy trying to keep up with their retention and destruction policies and scan as much as possible to get rid of the hard copy. I'm still not looking forward to the upheaval, but it will be nice to have new paintwork and carpets.
