Spring Cleaning #30: The Many Drives of HCPL
This exercise finally made me clean out my Z drive folder which I rarely use. I think the oldest item as a time sheet from 2006.
When it comes to my folders, I am pretty organized. I try not to save anything that I don't intend to use on a regular basis.
Since I have to do PR items for YA, I am pretty well acquainted with the S drive.

Spring Cleaning #29: You've Got Mail!
Even before this exercise started, I was in the midst of decluttering my e-mail. It's easier to find e-mails that you need when they are filed in folders as opposed to just scattered among the items in your inbox.
Since I use my address book on a daily basis, I keep it updated so I didn't have to worry about that project. I really wish our mail system was more like Gmail when it comes to your address book. I love the fact that once I put an address in my Gmail book, all I have to do type in the first letters and it pulls up the whole address. It's much more intuitive.
As for the future, I plan to set aside time each day to maintain this system.

Spring Cleaning #28
I recently hopped on the anti-clutter bandwagon. Reading Karen Kingston's Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui was the real impetus behind my decluttering spree. She writes about the emotional and physical benefits of decluttering your space and delves into why people hang on to clutter. I tried a few of her techniques and immediately noticed a difference in my attitude and feelings.
I also love GTD. It's a fabulous book. I love this system of organization but it's not exactly geared toward people who are visual learners. Luckily, I ran across a great piece of software designed around GTD principles but instead of written lists, you have visual cues and "To Do" bubbles. It's called Goal Enforcer and you can read more about it here.
With Goal Enforcer, you can print out "To Do" lists, e-mail yourself reminders, etc. I love it. It's also pretty inexpensive.
I have tried Google Calendar but for some reason, it won't e-mail me my reminders. I've had better luck using the Zoho Planner that I learned about while using Zoho during the first ihcpl. After looking at the other websites, I have to say that I'm sticking with Goal Enforcer and Zoho Planner. They are both easier to use and work better for me.
