Catching up; clearing clutter
Tuesday, August 15th, 2006I’ve been up since roughly 3 AM (don’t ask), and since I was home today, I decided it was time for some much-needed reorganization of my files/email/software. I’ve been letting e mail pile up to ridiculous proportions (between work, life, Babble and other pursuits, something definitely had to give.) So when I finally got around to really looking at my e mail, it was huge. I’ve read, sorted, deleted and replied to more e mail today than I have since early June. Now it’s back to manageable size again, and should be easier to maintain. The problem has to do with information overload, I think. I subscribe to several newsletters having to do with blogging, software/freeware reviews, computer tips and the like…things that look interesting, when I have time to really look into them…and I decided I either needed to clear up the backlog or (horrors!) unsubscribe to some of them.
