Command Edit Episode 64 Being a digital hoarder and how to properly archive your editing projects for future use

You often organize the clutter around your desk or office, but what about the e-clutter? All of those projects that need archiving, assets that need managing and all of those loose files on your computer that need a home (or the trash).
