Post 30-Spring Cleaning,Don't clutter up expensive cyberspace

I don't have anything to clean out on the s drive. Janet showed me how to place a file on the s drive, so I practiced that. I cannot see myself using this much. I moved my p drive folder from staff p drive to my own account. I also cleaned out the sent mail folder in my e-mail. I will continue working on keeping myself organized.

Post 29 - Spring Cleaning, E mail

I am so excited, after completing this exercise, I only have less then 10 emails left in my account. I originally had 60 emails when I started. I always felt I might be needing them, so they kind of piled up on me. But since we were doing this as a work- related activity, I felt pretty good about spending some time on this. I created new folders for emails I wanted to keep, renamed a couple of them, and just had a great time getting organized. From now on, I will make an effort to take action on emails in a timely manner and delete anything not needed.

Post 28 - Spring Cleaning , take a load off your drives

GTD-Getting Things Done. I like the idea of making GTDs easy to store and track the information you need to complete the tasks. I thought this exercise was pretty interesting as I am always trying to find ways to organize my paperwork. I always write my personal appointments and special events in my diary. I signed up on the "remember the milk" site. List reminders and plan your time can always be done at this site. I looked at the google calendar also, and it's really good. But I still like my paper calendar and my small diary, it is easy to manage.
