This is one of those things that we all know, yet often overlook. I’m guilty of it myself and often allow my desk, filing cabinets and PC to become overloaded and overflowing with tons of disorganized crap.
Friday afternoon I got into a bit of a cleaning mood though, so wen through all of the papers and notes on my desk, filing cabinets and the table I keep in my office.
It took hours to sort through it all, decide what to keep and what not to, and then to organize what I was keeping in a useful manner.
Then I tackled my PC. I download tons of garbage. From Music to videos, PDF files, presentations, documents and software.
Usually I download stuff, try or review it, and unless it blows me away I tend to forget about it. Which leads to a massive build-up of junk on my hard drive.
In all I removed over 30 GB’s of junk from my PC Friday evening. Then I ran a registry cleaner because that crap always leaves little useless entries in the Windows registry–and then I defragmented my hard drive (which took about an hour).
So, Yay! I’ve got all kinds of free space in my office and on my PC again, but that’s not the point of this post.
