Digital hoarding

Digital hoarding refers to the collection of an excessive amount of digital content such as:

• memes
• photos
• music
• videos
• GIFs
• PDFs
• e-mails
• open source software

While those files may take up little to no physical space (aside from that of external hard drives), they can result in a lot of mental and psychological clutter.

Digital hoarders also tend to:

• have cluttered desktops on their operating system
• have an inbox e-mail count of several thousands (anti-inbox-zero)
• hoard physical media such as books and DVDs
