I suppose hoarding is far less of an issue with digital content, (particularly if it is remotely-hosted). I adore collecting antiquarian lit, vinyl, and other various antiquities but I am mindful to keep any and all physical collections in check. I have a supplementary income which I use as my collector-fund pool so that my hobby never encroaches upon my day-to-day expense budget, and I have become far more discerning in my tastes so that vinyl doesn't overtake the entire house. (I've a dedicated listening room for that.)

I suppose I just miss the experiential element of enjoying my music or taking in a film. In an effort to curb my habit, I created three "EXPLORE" Google Docs - named, "READ", "WATCH", and "LISTEN." I make a concerted effort to tackle a few items from any list each weekend. I read two books on Saturday so I just need to be disciplined enough to keep at it.

It would just be nice to know that I'm not the only whackjob with this delightful dilemma.
