Something Uncomfortable: Day 128

http://www.facebook.com/SomethingUncomfortableSteppingFromFearToFreedom
So, um… I don’t back up my computer. Stop hyperventilating! I’ve done plenty of that for all of us. Figuring out the best way to do it has been too overwhelming for me to even get started on it. Please tell me this happens to other people! I desperately know I need to do something and really want to do it, but I work myself into such a tizzy about the whole thing that I put it off until later. UGH!

Recently, a friend of mine set me up on 2 online backup thingies. First he had to convince me that people wouldn’t hack into my computer. Yes, I’m paranoid. He also told me to buy an external hard drive. It’s been sitting on my desk for a couple of weeks along with the DVDs that I bought to back up my pictures on.

This morning my phone rudely told me that I had no more space on it. Because nothing is backed up, I don’t delete pictures or videos from my phone. Again, paranoid and overwhelmed. After a quick check on my computer, I decided my computer would not likely explode today, so I quickly erased the videos from my phone before we left the house. AND now I have half of the storage available on my phone again!

As I’m typing, the portable hard drive is doing a complete backup of my system. I hope to start burning the photo DVDs when it’s done. What an uncomfortable process this is!

What have you been procrastinating about?
