Spring Cleaning #30: Take a Load Off Our Drives

Well, I went to S drive and didn't have a file there, so I created one and then deleted it. I did have a file in P drive and it contained a couple of documents which were pretty old so I went ahead and deleted them. About the Z drive, that was something new to me, I had no idea it existed or how to access it, but thanks to a co-worker who showed me how to access it and saw that there was nothing in there that belonged to me, so I did what the exercise called for and filed something and then deleted it. I realize that I hardly have the need to save anything because I immediately try to resolve instead of storing for a later day.

Spring Cleaning #29: Email

I'm proud to say that I have been doing what is suggested on the article "Clean Out Your Computer Day Tips & Ideas". Since I only work part-time I usually check my email twice a day and either respond immediately,if required,and delete it since there's a record of the sent email. Otherwise, I delete all of them after reading or if it's something that requires a reminder I usually set a reminder on the calendar on my personal email account. Before logging out I purge the trash folder.

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

I read about GTD and I like the workflow process. I found it to be the most practical one. When I check my email I immediately delete the message I read, unless it requires a response I follow through with it, but if there is no time to respond I put it in a different folder, that way the only thing in my inbox is the new stuff. What I use as a reminder is the calendar on my personal hotmail account, but I rather use the old fashion way which is the planner I carry in my purse. I find it's easier to just open it and see what's on that day, because I just don't have enough time to get to the computer at home.

SOUND #24

I looked into the Microsoft Zune because I am a little familiar with it because that's what my children have. To download stuff you have to create an account (tag), buy a Zune pass or Microsoft points (which can be used with all Microsoft Live sites). After that, you can download music, videos and pictures. You can also sign up for Zune Social, where you can share music with friends or the online community, post your favorite tunes and a lot more! It's amazing how much you can do with an MP3player. I also, checked my favorite radio stations, like 96.5 and 106.9 they are available online.
