TOTAL E-cleaning Tally: 1624 mails

Can't believe I only cleared 1624 mails...took me forever!
But I guess I have to give myself some credit considering that I not only was deleting, but also replying, forwarding and archiving. AND that comparing to the previous results of the earlier springclean exercise, things have been onward and upward. :)

For the rest of this week, I'll be trying to clear more of the Intra-mails, as well as the iPhoto, Dropbox, and Mac overloads... My laptop is bursting at the seams and I just need to get it all cleaned out so that everything will work happily and properly again. 

Not to mention that I have WAAAaaay too many apps on my iPhone that I really don't need.

Maybe it's a fight against the deeper roots in my life that are somewhat sucking me dry. But right now, I'm in some sort of zone where I just want to get to complete Zen... to just clear out all the clutter and have the bare minimum in my life. Just to clear out all the electronic, physical, social and emotional clutter...Then maybe I'll start getting into yoga and growing terrariums or something.

Okay, at least I think I took a few steps forward today...1624 little steps.

electronic stocktake shockers

With the flurry of festivities and working 32-hour workdays and what nots, today I'm back to re-looking at my springcleaning activities and how far I've come.

It's stocktake day today and I'm pretty worried about the numbers as I have been totally off-task with the electronic springcleaning...so the numbers today are definitely going to be this scary inflated pile of shock and horror. But in the wise words of Vince Lombardi, "It's not how many times you fall down, but how many you pick yourself up again."

So here's the electronic stock take...across emails, my Mac and iPhone.
