Cleaning the Hard
Drive
"Defragging"
is a process that physically reorganizes the contents of your computer hard
drive into the smallest number of contiguous regions (fragments). It is the
computer equivalent of taking a jumbled pile of miscellaneous papers that are
strewn across your desk, organizing them into files, and then putting them into
a cabinet in alphabetical order. In the
same way as our computers run more quickly, efficiently, and smoothly after a
process of defragging, human beings could benefit from a similar process. While we could do emotional, spiritual, and
interpersonal "spring cleaning" at any point, if we take this time
period seriously, Elul affords us our yearly opportunity to
"defrag." The best part about
defragging is that, as it organizes the files, it also creates larger areas of
free space. When we get all of the
various "stuff" that clogs our lives in order, we function better.
