Spring Cleaning #30: Take a Load Off Our Drives

The oldest file that I found on the P-Drive was one that I had created back when I worked at FM! It was unfinished, and I still hope to go back and complete the thing, but I can only guess when I would have remembered it if it hadn’t been for this exercise!

I think storing files on CDs over extended periods of time will only be useful to me if I create some sort of index (maybe just a Word file) to accompany them. Otherwise it will be too time-consuming to search back through each CD individually.

I do appear to have maintained a surprising level of organization, but I think that a Spring Cleaning each and every spring is probably in order!

Spring Cleaning #28: Don’t Clutter Up Expensive Cyberspace

GTD makes sense and I think it will help me, because I know that I can often get stuck in a sort of "paralysis of analysis" and never really get moving.

I also signed up for Bla-Bla List which seems simple enough to be useful!

Spring Cleaning #29: Email

My email, on the whole, is a lot less cluttered than say my desk!

I am going to regularly delete my SENT MAIL, because that folder is easy to overlook.

And I'd say that once a year I need to evaluate all of my files.
