I turned off the DishNetwork a couple of months ago, and really don't miss much, except the movies on Turner Classic Movies. I wish my local reception looked better.

I'd really save time if I turned off the computer.

I shredded some files at lunch, tossed old owner's manuals from a long-gone computer and other equipment. Cleared out a couple of inches of file space. But this reminds me that there is a cardboard file box around here somewhere that is full of photocopies and ILL copies of articles that I requested during graduate school. To be true to this decluttering process, I ought to find that and merge the 2/3 drawer of articles with the full box of articles (I could probably purge some to make it fit). Keep the cardboard file as an academic resource and clear this cabinet file drawer for other things I could still stand to file.

Like Linn, I have a lot of maps that I've collected over the years. I find it very difficult to discard maps, so I should organize and file them if I'm going to keep them.

I'm sunburned today and still have a mild case of prickly heat from working so much in the yard this weekend. I am amazed by the transformation once the outdoor junk is organized or discarded. The space went from looking like just a mowed lawn to now looking positively park-like. I have a couple of antique wheelbarrows that need need handles, and I think I'm going to hunt up some new ones to restore these and whether they're put to use or serve as attractive yard sculptures, that's something to add to my list. (I looked at Home Depot, they no longer seem to have replacement wood for wheelbarrows).
