As warned, I am in Dallas, so can’t clean my house…but I do need to clean my computer. THOUSANDS of unread emails. How do my fellow authors keep up, I wonder? There are always tons coming in on the email lists. And I spend way too much time on Amazon. I get several confirmations a day from them…usually for free Kindle “purchases”.
And then there are the photos. Not as bad on the laptop, because I haven’t synced with this computer in awhile, but I bet there are still multiple copies of some of them.
You definitely don’t want to run out of work space on your primary work computer!
UPDATE ONE: Look! I got new Housecleaning dice!
Yeah, I should have used a flash…but it was late. 🙂
I did finally get all the pictures downloaded into the laptop and off the camera’s card, so that is a major cleaning step — there were over 800 shots on it! That was my project completed for the day.
I’ll post con pictures on Sunday. 🙂
Here's the Clean... 
I know in outlook, there’s a way to automatically send emails from a certain address to a designated folder. So they never even hit your in-box. You just take a peek, hit select all, then delete them OR delete as needed. They aren’t cluttering up the inbox, you have all your newlestters, receipts, whatever automatically sorted. Kind of like a filing cabinet for your email.
Love the new Die. Dice. Whatever—is the squareish one marble?
There is something similar in Yahoo now — actually a plugin thingie — but I still need to go through the ones I’ve sorted. I was originally moving everything to Outlook every now and then, but I should still winnow first so I don’t save a bunch of unnecessary stuff… 🙂
