30 Spring Cleaning

I have used the S drive before but I added a file and took it off. I went through the P drive and deleted some files. Working with the Z drive I do have a number of files but feel the size is within reason. I have always deleted some things as I went to keep the z drive to a manageable size. I do want to spend some more time to see whether I can delete more items. The remaining documents have the potential to be a tremendous time saver. When I write to the villages or write a memo it is great to have a previous document that can be updated. The earliest document I deleted was a building repair document from 1998. I don't remember where I found it but think it may have been in the P drive.

29 Spring Cleaning

I have had a personal email account for many years and have used it for personal email. On a few occasions I have received a personal email on the county account and I've either deleted it or deleted it as soon as I had forwarded it to my personal account to reply.

I have been deleting emails and empting the trash. I feel I have a ways to go yet but am pleased with my progress. I have begun to organized what is left.

For the county account I have very few addresses in my address book. Using Outlook the address appears when I type the first letter of the address. I can quickly look up those that I have not used before.

Everyday as I read emails I am deleting as many as possible as soon as I have read them. I am also looking back at the previous emails and trying to delete them as well. I don't see having such a collection of emails in the future.

28 Spring Cleaning

I am one of the people who has not been faithful in maintaining my email account. I was keeping current any emails that I thought I would use and sometimes keeping them beyond their usefulness. GTD has encouraged me to evaluate the emails received and to delete as much as possible. I've been doing massive weeding of my inbox and look forward to the next step of organizing the remaining emails.

I looked at the calendar sites and I find them interesting. I see that they answer a need for some people. I currently feel my paper system works for me.

Confession is good for the soul.
