We often see shows about hoarders who refuse to throw out old DVDs and cassette tapes (what are those?). But now, more and more of us are hoarding something different.

How many photos do you have on your phone right now? A few thousand? And what about your email inbox? If the numbers shock you, you might just be a digital hoarder.

A local study found that about 7 in 10 office professionals admit to digital hoarding — higher than the global average. Many of us just keep saving “in case we need it later.”

Audrey, Ryan and Emaad chat about why we do it, and what we can do to tackle our personal mess.
