Winter has set in and with it many of us are spending the night curled up in front of the TV.  Instead of watching the same boring old shows, why don’t you have a good old fashioned 'slide' night?

Do you love a good catch up with old friends? Can you remember the last time you took a stroll down memory lane? Do you have hundreds of old slides or prints taking up valuable storage space generating inches of dust? We can help you prepare everything you need to enjoy a 'slide' night the modern way and we have some fun theme ideas to inspire you.

For those of you that visited The Office Space - Officeworks Blog to read our input on how to 'Unclutter and organised your workspace' you would be familiar with our 'organise > utilise > enjoy' theory. After last weeks Time Trial video we wanted to remind you of the benefits of organising your photos by applying the same 'organise > utilise > enjoy' theory to this post about photo organising.

Remember waaaay back in May we promised we would do a post covering off some of our most FAQ about how to prepare for a digital organising project?  Well a bunch of stuff happened i.e. LIFE and I was delayed in writing it, sorry team. Finally as promised here it is using a specific scenario unique to one of our fantastic clients. Readers - meet Pete,  Pete is a husband and father who plays in a band and runs 3 businesses.  Anyone in the Sutherland Shire looking for a GREAT personal trainer you should do yourself a favour and check out 100 Candles Training Pete had images on 2 iPhones, 5 memory cards and 1 PC that he wanted organised into a useable system.  Read on to see a short video interview I did with Pete BEFORE we started organising.

Morbid thought isn’t it? Imagine you died. A large part of our business inspiration was to help people. In this case we want to help them avoid the heartache that disorganisation can cause in the case of an emergency or accident. I want to share a story with you. In September last year my friend Kristine lost her brother Jeff in a tragic paragliding accident. Today, with her permission and blessing I want to share the heart-breaking aftermath of such a tragedy.

I have heard three stories recently of friends losing their data and images from their computers - the computer ‘dies’ and all those precious files and photos are no longer readily accessible. Most of us can relate and have had some terrifying technical glitch happen to us at some stage. With today’s technology I would hope that most of you would have at least one reliable back up of your valuable data – either on another hard drive or saved to cloud storage. But it is amazing how many people don’t have any external storage or who haven’t backed up their data for really long periods of time. Here is one of those recent stories that a friend shared with me only last week:
