Digital clutter does not take up visible space in your home, but it still takes up head space. In this episode, I talk with Kari Denker about physical memories, photo boxes, old albums, digital files, Dropbox, Google Drive, email clutter, phone photos, and what happens when the next generation has to sort through what we keep.
