Week #30 Spring cleaning

Don't have anything to clean out on the S drive. I know how to place a file on the S drive so didn't practice that. Cleaned out the extra stuff that wasn't being used on P drive. Things I used several years ago thatwere still there and getting dusty...got rid of those documents! The few photos I had on the P drive that I used for IHCPL got moved to flickr. Also went and cleaned out the sent mail on my email, and that cleaned up a lot of space. Yeah! Spring cleaning sure feels good!

Week #29 email, moving forward

This exercise is a continuation of the previous week. On last weeks lesson I focused on finding order between my work and personal email, and using an outside source to get my personal life in better order. So this week I created additional folders in my work email. Things I might want to save and refer to at a later date.
Such as some of the weekly updates about ill procedures. I also have a folder for all correspondence from Coxnet. From time to time I need to go and clean out those folders too, and this exercise has taught me a little about orgainizing skills

Week #28 TA DA! getting organized, maybe...

After spending some time reading about getting things done I realize I have a lot to learn about getting all my "ducks in a row" An interesting thought about removing stuff from your head and parking those thoughts somewhere more concrete and readily assesable. There are far better ways to keep lists than writing stuff down on a post it note and then forgetting where you put it. First thing I learned by reading GTD was HOW to get my work and personal information in order.
First I separated my work email from my personal email. I canceled all junk email by unscribing to as many as I could, and what ones I wanted to keep changed it to my personal email. I signed up for TA Da, thought I could find a use for organizing lists. With this wedding coming up there is a great many things to keep track of, like all the many many things we have to buy and what we have already bought, cost of things, guests and the like. So now I can add that to my Tada list and keep track and I can also set it up so that anyone can add to our wedding lists. Pretty cool.
So I think I am on my way to good organizing!
