Digital De-Cluttering
Ahhh…the new year of 2010. You may have already done all the cleaning and clearing you want to tackle but if not I read of a great idea. This one has to do with clearing out your computer. I am not a great computer wizard but I can do simple things. Jeri Dansky wrote an article on how to declutter your computer. Decluttering is great, especially if you are backing up your computer regularly. For this makes backing up faster, easier to find items, and, as always, just makes you feel better and less weighed down.
Jeri’s ideas to clear out: unneeded or out of date bookmarks, trash emails, sent emails, programs or applications no longer being used, photos from your camera that have duplicates or are not labeled and in a file, etc. I think this list gets you thinking about you can eliminate from your computer. Tackle it in chunks. Spend 15-30 minutes at a time just clearing things out. Good luck.
