I had never created a file for the "S" drive, so I did and then deleted it.
I had nothing on the "P" drive....nor the "Z" drive, so this was an easy one to do!

Spring Cleaning #29: Email
I cleaned out my email account for work.
At home, I made folders for various topics that I wanted to save and will be diligent in keeping it tidy and organized.
Now.....if I can just remember to go through the saved files from time to time and weed them out.....OK....I'll just put a note on the 'fridge!

Spring Cleaning #28
I read about GTD....
I reviewed the links to the google calendar and the to-do lists.
These organizational tools are not very useful for me.
I am a "visual" person....I must "see" my list in order to remember to do the things I need to do.
Therefore....I have found that the best method for me is the old standard of "stick it on the refrigerator door".
I open my refrigerator door numerous times a day. If I stick a note on the door....I am guaranteed to see it!
Unfortunately....I need a much larger refrigerator to display all of my "to do's" on....and it bugs the heck out of my poor husband, who hates clutter.
But, I have tried little pocket calendars....I have tried larger desk calendars....nope....does not work. I would have to remember to actually look at the calendars to see my "to do's".....which would require a note stuck on the refrigerator door.....

Week 10: #23 The end?
It has been a very interesting and informative 10 weeks for me.
A little time consuming.....but mostly fun.
I was already aware of some of the exercises....youtube and meez for example.
Other things, like RSS feeds, Library Elf, Delicious, Podcasts, etc....I had never heard of.....
but they are also things that do not have a place in my internet use.
However, just because I do not have a need for them, it is still useful information to cram into my head...you know....just in case!
I'm not one to write a book on the matter.....I completed the course and I am more knowledgeable as a result. Hopefully, if presented with an opportunity, I can impart some of my newfound knowledge on others.
Thanks!

Week 9: #22 Downloadable media
I browsed the sites for downloadable media.....and found some very interesting childrens titles.
My daughter much prefers to "listen" to books than to actually "read" them, so I think this will be very useful for us.
I will definately download some digital titles for her soon!

Week 9: # 21....podcasts
I explored the podcasting sites and found some interesting podcasts on scrapbooking. However, they are pretty long and I do not have time at work to listen to the complete program. I'll do that at home when I have time.....LOL!....Yeah....its Christmas rush time....so it may be a while...sorry....
Week 9: #20 Discovering YouTube
YouTube is not a new experience for me. It certainly can be entertaining!
My daughter loves to look up clips of funny cats.
One of the exercises is to post a youtube clip into my blog...I did that earlier, however, so I won't do it again....
