Hello--
I'm new to GTD and am just starting to think about the capturing process. I'm pretty confident tackling all of my to-do lists and physical items, but I'm wondering the best path for my extensive archives of digital files. I have gigabytes and gigabytes of files from old projects that could conceivably be helpful/interesting to look at, but there aren't any specific actions around them, other than organizing them. Yet I know organizing them will take an ungodly number of hours for little pay off: many are from 5+ years ago.
Is this something I should ignore, or is the very fact of their unorganized existence the exact kind of thing I should be capturing? I'm just not certain how to handle relative to the small payoff for the time invested.
Thanks for your help!
