ihcpl #30 s p z drives
The oldest file I could delete from the p drive was from 2006. The oldest file from my z drive was from 2004. I still need to burn some branch photos to cd. I am very familiar with the S drive and once had a near tragedy when the latest version of a power point I was working on for a presentation was deleted. Fortunately I had burned an earlier version onto cd and could remember the changes. Since then, I've stored most things like that in my z drive.
ihcpl #29 Email
I've been weeding through my e-mail gradually since this task was assigned. I still have work to do. One thing that strikes me as I do this is how much junk I receive that has nothing to do with me. I'm not talking about the accidental "reply all" types of messages. I'm talking about the CYA by CC'ing the planet kind of emails. Sigh. Miles to go before I sleep...
ihcpl #28 Spring Cleaning
I was already familiar with David Allen's Getting Things Done. Several people used the system at SEMATECH where I worked previously. The 2 minute rule is the concept I use most often from GTD. About 5 years ago I purchased a Treo. This device is both a cell phone and a PDA (it can also be used to send and check e-mail but I don't use that function). It has been very helpful in keeping me on track for appointments and deadlines.
