Get organized

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

A whole new era of nerdiness has begun.

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

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.

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.

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.
