Appreciation post: that one comment about backups finally clicked for me
I was reading a thread here last week about backup habits and someone said 'if it doesnt exist in 3 places it doesnt exist at all.' That stuck with me because I lost a clients tax files from 2018 after a drive failure last month. I had one backup on an external but that drive went bad too. Now I got 3 different locations for everything and tested them all today. Anyone else have a simple tip that finally made you change how you do things?

That's exactly how I feel about a lot of life advice honestly. It's like you hear something a hundred times and then one day it just lands. For me it was the idea of "don't let perfect be the enemy of good." I used to put off cleaning my garage for months because I wanted to do it all in one weekend and make it look like a magazine, so nothing ever got done. Now I just do a little bit each week and it's way better than before. It's funny how the simplest stuff is the hardest to actually put into practice.

Wait, you used to clean the garage once a year or something? @mary776 I always figured you were one of those people who had it all together, not someone who let their garage turn into a disaster zone...
