I have to organize a lot of things, let me start listing a few items that are important:
1. My gmail box – this was big mess till yesterday. I made some close to 25 different labels and archived all my emails. I don’t want my inbox showing thousands of emails. This still needs some more work. Mails in one category can belong to others too.
2. media content in my hard disk – This is a big problem. I should get all movies into DVDs. Downloaded serials should go into DVDs too. MP3 is the most difficult thing to organize. But I’m waiting for all the MP3s to be downloaded first. I need to purge multiple copies of the same song. There is close to 11 GB of song videos. I need to figure if this is needed at all.
3. My wardrobe – Currently it has dozens of clothes hanging. electronic items, old boxes, cartons and all sorts of stationery pertaining to my grad application. This needs to be cleaned up.
4. My bedroom – Man this is a mess! There are suitcases all around. It isn’t very clear where I’m headed with this one. I need #3 cleaned up before this one.
I need to get into a sort of routine to clean up something atleast everyday. My organized room has gotten messed up since Oct 2007 – ever since I began applications for grad school. I don’t see myself beginning to clean up the cupboards till Feb 15. But hopefully after that, I’ll take some time out for this.
5. My parents’ computer – This is needed to be done once I go home for vacation. A network has to be established. I must set up a proper Wireless network that allows for freedom in working. I need to do this before I go abroad for my studies.
I also need to set up the remote desktop connections across the routers and provide my parents with an automated way for that so that when they run into problems, I can log in and fix their problems. This will need lots of time and patience.
