Spring Cleaning #30

I went through my Z drive and managed to delete stuff. Found some great stuff I had in weird places. I need to get a gizzy to save some stuff on. I partially went through the P- drive, but since it is communal, it is difficult to know what to delete if it not just your project. Maybe a To Be deleted File for everyone to review? Still It's better than it was. (I got rid of all those on-order files from 2000). I've used the S drive as necessary, but I'm sure that anything I put on is long gone.

Spring Cleaning #29 E-mail

I've been through my e-mails again. They still need some cleaning up, but I'm working on it. I go through them fairly regularly, but I really hate throwing ANYTHING away. You always need it as soon as you get rid of it.

#28 Spring Cleaning--Don't Clutter Up Cyberspace

I was disappointed in this session. The idea is good, but the Wiki guy didn't really have anything new, just a rehash of old ideas using stuffy management jargon (horizontal?? vertical??) to add unintelligibly and the necessary academic sleeping pill (by adding those elements, he can be hailed as a bright, new management star and make the big bucks as a consultant, plus add to his published works for tenure)
My dad explained about the tickler file in the '60's(President Eisenhower used it) and and an old boss explained the "three drawer management system" in the '70's. Both excellent systems. I guess I was expecting a little more.
