Maps #31 - Have Map, Will Travel

I created this map with Google maps. I had a lot of fun with this exercise, and I'm sure I'll using Google maps even more now!

Spring Cleaning #30 - Take a Load Off Our Drives

I have never used the S, P, or Z drives to save anything. Instead, I save my data on a floppy disk.

I was unsure of what I could and could not save on the S, P, and Z drives, and I didn't want to take up space. I'm glad I have more information on their usage now.

Spring Cleaning #29 - Email

I don't like having a ton of email just sitting in my inbox, so I'm pretty good about sorting through it on regular basis.

In both my work and personal email accounts, I have set up additional folders to store emails that I will need access to in the future. Everything else gets deleted after I read it (and reply to it, if necessary.)

Also, I always make sure to empty the deleted items folder.

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

I read through the information on GTD. The work flow process was the easiest method for me to understand, because it had a very common sense approach to it.

I use an online calendar and task manager at Yahoo, and I think it's very helpful. While I like the functionality of an online calendar, I still have a day planner and write my weekly to-do lists on paper, because it's easier to add to it or make adjustments when I'm on the go and don't have computer access.
