Clean Up your Calendar for Year's End
Posted by Kevin Purdy at 1:30 AM on December 4, 2007
The Dumb Little Man weblog suggests that now is a great time to tackle organisational must-dos, like packing up summer clothes (at least for us northerners), gathering up receipts for taxes, and tending to both this year's and the upcoming year's calendars. In particular:
Sweep the CalendarI'm hoping to put aside some time this week to dig through old emails and GCal items to see what still needs doing. What year-end tasks do you undertake to keep yourself focused? Let's hear 'em in the comments.If you're like me, you've got miscellaneous things on the calendar that were planned a long time ago in the Summer that never actually happened. Sweep the Winter months and make sure that everything on your calendar is an actual event. Once you've got everything off the calendar that you won't need, go through and add those events that you haven't gotten around to yet.

After you read this article - DO NOT THROW OUT YOUR FILES ...
SHRED YOUR FILES - and then make paper, or burn them or if you MUST - throw them out.
But once a thing is put into a trash container and put on the sidewalk - legally, it now belongs to anyone who wants it and we dont want people dumpster diving for your identity.

Having to make room for the Christmas tree (and other festive junk) is actually really good motivation for me to clean/pitch stuff out/organize in general. I finally got rid of our massive broken Rainbow vacuum on Freecycle. I bought and built several nice flat-pack shelves/cabinets, so now my kitchen looks slightly less like a clearance sale at Kitchen Collection. Next step: boxing up old clothes and such for the VVA to cart away.

Screw the whole "winter clothes" and "summer clothes" things.
I live in Ohio...and I just wear short sleeved t shirts year round and I wear shorts in the summer and jeans in the winter. Easy, and I don't have to pack crap up when the seasons change.
