The Great Purge

I just spent the weekend cleaning my computer room, which is now my new home office. It’s been very refreshing. I threw out hundreds of pounds of crap I’ve been hoarding for my entire eight (8) years in the computer field. Old hardware, peripherals, manuals, software, games, etc. — all gone. I saved a few things, but probably only 5% of what I had.

The point is that it felt really good to do this. It’s part of the whole GTD thing — starting fresh and then following up with a good strategy for managing new inputs. If yo haven’t done this yet I really encourage you to give it a try. To me, simplification has a raw, natural beauty to it.
