Decluttering

Recently I have put a new found emphasis on decluttering (not a word but I like it) my life. This started out as a small cleaning project in the bedroom but has evolved to touch everything I do. 

Clutter is so easy to ignore, so easy to put in another drawer, or better yet put it in the closet and close the closet door. I have a large closet and it holds several feet worth of clutter very nicely. ;-)

In the digital world I have endless seas of folders and sub-folders. I group up my desktop icons and objects  about twice a year and carefully put them all in a folder with a date and move them into an archive.

My new plan involves spending more time organizing things into permanent locations. In my house I am working to get my new office in order and get all my things into one space. It is amazing how much space little piles of stuff add up to.  I am combining the stuff I had at the main BMI office with the stuff at my other office and slowly forming a new and more tidy identity. Trying to shed the chaos.

So far it is working pretty good, things take a little more time to do but I get a nice feeling of accomplishment when completed. In the real world I hope to continue through the drawers in my house and within the computer world I am aiming to conquer the dreaded murky waters of my documents.
