I love the idea of taking photos of the items. We can literally have a catalog of our life’s history in our hands at all times!

Exactly! And sometimes, these things breaks so… it’s useful to have a record. oh yes, and insurance!

That is a really good point - to have the record but also for insurance purposes. Going through photos from the 1980's (40 + years ago Ack!) to sort, cull and digitize, I found a bunch of photos of the insides of kitchen drawers and cupboards, shelves of records and CD's, linen closet etc. from my apartment in Rigaud, Quebec, Canada where I lived for 5 years. Took me a moment, then realized those were my insurance photos lol

Curious to look further and see what I still have :)

It can make downsizing much easier - keep the memory and story, and easier to let go of the stuff - particularly Kitchy stuff (like my pet rock...)
