During this break I am tackling many organizational projects, going through stuff and tossing that which is no longer needed. Earlier in the week I tackled the hall closet which had become jungle-like in its configuration of boxes and random items. I removed everything from the closet, went through all the boxes, ruthlessly culled items and as soon as I emptied a box, I ran to the recycling bin, broke down the box and tossed it in before I could weaken. The closet looks incredible now.
There is another form of clutter that I think we are all afflicted with these days. The problem is this clutter is largely invisible. I am talking about the files we accumulate on our computers. I save images and interesting articles that I will read some day and then promptly forget about them.
So today I am sitting with my laptop, opening files that haven't been touched in a decade, organizing articles and images, deleting mystery files and occasionally unearthing gems. Unfortunately, when this organizing task is done, there will be no visible sign of it. But it will still give me a secret satisfaction, knowing that my laptop's hard drive is as organized as the rest of the house.
