The Great Photo Purge Challenge Week 1 Update & Tips

{This post was nearly ready to go on Monday when I lost power due to the crazy rain storm that hit the Toronto area.  Power came back on later and thankfully we had no basement flooding - many we know did - but then we lost our internet, home phone, and cable yesterday.  Won't likely be fixed until Friday due to the number of issues related to the storm.  So... I'm hanging out at my parents' place... using their internet to get some blogging done while the kids run through the sprinkler (my parents have a great backyard for sprinkler fun!).  Thanks for being patient with this update!}

Organizing Ideas For The Weekend #17

Happy Friday!  Time for another organizing idea for your weekend :) 

Do you have a lot of emails in your inbox?  Or in folders in your email account?  With unlimited storage these days, it seems many of us have taken that option literally and we keep WAY too many emails.

I've been working lately on cleaning up my email accounts.  I have thousands of emails that I will never look at again and the more they accumulate, the more overwhelmed I feel.  And I use my email accounts so often that it's emotionally draining to see them all there.

Organizing Ideas for the Weekend #13

Happy Friday!  Time for another organizing idea for your weekend :)

Do you feel overwhelmed at your computer?  Is your desktop cluttered and your inbox overflowing?
