Okay, not to bore you silly 21 months ago

but I’ve cleared up my office. All my papers have been filed, and I’m just happy as a clam about it.



My treo broke 3 years ago

It was old anyway. I’ve ordered a clie off of ebay. It uses Palm OS 5. The clie was on 3.5. I really just wanted a color calendar to match ical, but media capablities will be a nice touch.



Sorted out my storage area. 3 years ago

It’s pretty well organized, except one box of cables. It’s got everything, coaxial, serial, rca and specialty palm cables. I guess I’ll put some up for sale (ebay) and others I’ll just sort.



Well, we bought some new furniture 3 years ago

A nice sturdy shoe rack and an entry table(for mail and keys). The last shoe rack drove me CRAZY. It would fall apart, and shoes were everywhere. At least this one is solid.



I'm that much closer 3 years ago

filed my taxes, and sorted through tons of papers. filled a few bags with the shreaded remains. Created files for archived papers (with my rocking new label maker), and articles. I need to eventually sort and clip the items in archived files, but one step at a time.



I've got a labeler. 3 years ago

A whole new era of nerdiness has begun.



Okay 43 folders are in place, and all folders created 3 years ago

I’ve got places for all my papers—at least even if they chose not to reside there.



Slowly but surely getting my life into files 3 years ago

It’s funny but I think my new impetus started with 43 things. I don’t have all the files labeled yet, but I’ll finish that tonight. I’ve got the 43 files though, and now I’m just working on keeping my papers in the right places.



Hired some cleaners 3 years ago

It’s a splurge, I know—but c’mon. It’s 80 bucks to clean my apartment and I get to spend the weekend being truly productive and not standing in a pile of dirty clothes yelling about my missing papers. It’s awesome. I split the 80 with my Fiance. . . forty bucks every three weeks for cleanliness. I wish I’d have done it sooner.



Getting things done 4 years ago

I’ve heard so much about David Allen’s GTD. I am going to order the audio of the book, once my ipod stops misbehaving.
