Subject: RE: BS: February Declutter - keep the faith!
I've had a stiff neck because of twisting to watch the television in my office. It is just enough of an angle that I'm feeling the same kind of discomfort I experienced when I was wearing bifocals to work on the computer (and tipping my head back to see the screen through the bottom of the lens). This awkward position works against you, so I rearranged my office this morning. And in the process I cleared a lot of clutter from my computer desk. Much of it went into the trash, but a fair amount is over on my work desk--how many times have I cleared this thing off now? I'll be filing a lot of the stuff that is on it this time.

I sorted out the data CDs from work (backup files, etc.) from the home CDs (photos, writing) and from music. I sorted out the zip disks (I'll probably delete a lot of their duplicated contents and have them for storage) and there are still quite a few floppy disks around also. All are in their own baskets and neatly shelved. I cleared off some of the book shelves on the wall (where I keep a lot of music CDs, cassette tapes, and music books along with recording and playback equipment). I found some great CDs I'd forgotten I had.

There's more room in here now, and I'm not rolling my chair into that cracked tile (I still need to fix that).
