Important things on my to-do list: bookkeeping for my business, cleaning the house
Not on my to-do list: sorting out the multiple boxes of accumulated tech stuff that I've hoarded over the years
Guess which one my ADHD brain is hyper-focusing on today...
The oldest thing I've found so far is a 23 year-old Nokia 6210, also a Nokia 770 'internet tablet' from 2006
Hey! I have the same todo list.....I just spent three hours repotting and setting up moss poles for my pot plants. Yay for procasti-chores
Quick tip, if you can afford it, paying for services like a bookkeeper / cleaner / gardener etc can really massively change your life for the better if you're neurodivergent
Haven't even looked at the bookkeeping, nor have I tackled the garage, but I'm purging the bookcases and going through old magazines we'd set aside for later and never got to. At least the yellow bin is filling up nicely.
Instead of just sorting them, have you tried getting them to boot and seeing what you can get running on them? If they don't work then are you looking in to how to fix them? Also once you've been through them all, just remember, you never know when you might need them so it's probably worth putting them back. Also make sure to put them back exactly in the same spot and box they were originally in otherwise you'll never find them again.
Hehe...
