Week 7: Managing Digital Clutter

Before we dive in to this week's topic I want to take a moment and celebrate last week's achievements!! I completely overhauled my closet for spring. My favorite shirts are now front and center and I have a box of shoes I'm donating tomorrow. My prom dress is tucked away in the back of my car ready for consignment and I cleared out an entire tall bookshelf of knickknacks, random electronics and old notes.I took down old wall hangings and put up three new teal framed items. One frame holds a dear friend's artwork, one frame holds pictures of me and friends, and one is a mirror that I hung to reflect more light. All three are gorgeous and make me very happy!Now on to Managing Digital Clutter (gah). I do not enjoy spending time on a computer moving files around. It frustrates me and takes forever (I realize that if I organized it to begin with this wouldn't be a problem but hindsight is 20/20). I have been dreading this week and what do you know it still arrived.This week my goals are:

  • Transfer files from two unused desktop computers to external hard-drive (I have been putting this off for almost 2 years)
  • Organize digital pictures (Also procrastinated this task for years)
  • Create email filing system (Things are starting to get lost in the email vortex...)

I know I will feel much better once these tasks are accomplished and I can get rid of the computer clutter. Wish me luck and leave a comment below if you have any advice for me!
