A common question asked, yet we all find ourselves in an increasingly over-cluttered life when it comes to our relevant information for our homes, pets, collections. Who can remember what medication they were taking two years ago and at what dosage? It has become near impossible to remember when the pets next need to see the vet, or when the filters in the pool or fridge need replacing. Updating this kind of information on a daily basis allow a person to be assured that no detail will be forgotten.

If we could go through the items in just one household you would be astonished as to how much information is being lost that could be vital in the future. When you had your home built, did you file away all the receipts for every item installed? Could you easily find the make, model and colour for every tile in your home? Could you find the part number that will help you replace a broken tap? The glass covering of you designer lights, if one broke, would you be able to get a replacement without at least a serial number?

If we look at the maintenance that needs to be done to a normal home, it astonishes me how much needs to be done, and remembered to be done. What happens when you replace the pool filter? Do you throw away the packaging after reading it saying; "oh I’ll remember to change it in 3 months"? Then there are the annual licences that need to be renewed on a certain date. Do you remember every date for every licence, or do you find yourself scrambling to pay things on time or after the time with penalties? Could you name exactly what colour paint was used in each room of your home, could you get a colour match if you needed to repaint?

So far we have only been taking about one house. What if own two or three? Could you really remember all the information to maintain three houses? If you have art hanging in all your homes, and you needed to find a certain piece or even just locate the last appraisal for it, could you? How long would that take you? Would you need to go to each house and check if it is there and then search for the paperwork? What if you have a storeroom at one or two, perhaps all three, of your homes? Do you have a list of everything in each of them? What if you were searching for something in one of them, would it not be better to know exactly where all your possessions are?
