Inventory Challenge Week 4: Keep, Toss, or Store?

CCC- Ani Outfit

It's finally here! The last week of the inventory challenge! Do your inventories look cleaner?

Mine's still not where I want it to be, but it's sure shaping up! I went through this past week and re-did the previous challenges. This week I'm tackling my hair/clothes and then I'm going to overcome that out of control gesture folder!

My tip for our final week is based on organization principles for RL as well. We only have so much room in our physical closets, and while our virtual closet may seem infinite, at some point, you do accumulate clutter which makes it harder to find what you really want to find.

Inventory Challenge Week 3: Picking an organization scheme

Ohai friends! It's been way too long, and my inventory just keeps getting bigger and bigger! So, if you haven't done any maintenance in the past couple weeks, go back and do the quick checks I described in Week 1 and Week 2 of the Challenge.

Next, we're going to try to setup a semblance of some organization for you. Before we start this part I have a disclaimer: What works for me, may not work for you! I'll share as many ideas as I have, but you have to find a system that works for you.Since I know we all have our own styles of organization, I asked a few brave people to share screenshots of their inventory so I could have some examples. So look through, find one that looks likes yours and go from there!

Calling Hoarders!! - Inventory Challenge Week 2

Week one of our inventory clean-up challenge started with cleaning out some easy to find items. Two more "easys" came up in the comments that you might add to your list: Demo and Object. I will caution, if you're a builder, you might actually check those objects before mass deleting.... and while you're at it, give yourself a lecture on naming items as you rez them :P This week I went on a total shopping spree (Ohai Truth Hair and Babydolls!), so my number went up (39821). But there's a way do some damage control even if our inventories keep growing.

Cleaning my Closet! 4 week challenge to a cleaner, tidier inventory

Did you know huge inventories are more at risk to lose items than those that aren't as unwieldy? (okay, this is anecdotal only, but it's what I've noticed)

How big is YOUR inventory? Mine has 38,644 items today.... and it's a disaster!

Despite continued efforts, our inventories can get crammed full of stuff we don't need. This hurts our load times, the ability to find what we want, and increases the potential to lose inventory. This can really stink when we've spent good L$ on our stuff! We want to be able to find and use all 30K of those items!

So, for the next 4 weeks, I'm going to share with you some tips on how to start taking that unwieldy inventory and making it just a little more manageable.
