Weekend Project: Updates
Mike
Here is the first of the weekend project updates. This weekend sees the 4th of the weekend projects and so far they have been quite successful. The original idea behind me starting these weekend projects was to give me a helping hand and a much needed kick up the arse to get things done. So far I have covered sorting out my emails, a household budget and a desktop cleanup. These are things that I needed to get done. To help me in my personal life and give me both a clear mind and the clear space to get things done. So onto the first update:
Email Clean Out:
When I started this project I had over 4,000 emails to get through and to see which ones where junk, which ones I could unsubscribe from and which ones I wanted to keep. I am now glad to say that my inboxes are now only holding the emails that I want and as they come in, I delete the ones that I don’t want. A great way to keep on top of things and have another area sorted.
Household Budget:
I have setup a household budget that has yet to take effect, for the simple reason that I get paid montly. The budget is designed for my whole months salary as I had already spent a good bit of my salary when I started the budget, so this will come into effect next week when I get paid. I have enough money leftover after my expenses to be able to save a bit and live comfortably, which was the main aim of the budget. It only remains now to see if I can stick to the budget.
Desktop Cleanup:
This one is the one that is holding me back. I didn’t think that this one would be so difficult. I cleaned up my desktop and got rid of some of the items that where that I did not need or use. I am looking for programs that will help me in my tasks and see what will be benifical to me. Also I need a nice desktop wallpaper.
So it’s back to work I go on the desktop and see what I can find and what is helpful. Will give you all a new screen shot when it is done and list the software that I am using and what each does.
