Chicken Teriyaki Bowl #7

I just turned off Trillian, which handles all of my IM except for Google Chat. I’ll turn it on only when I need it.

I transferred all of my phone lines to Grand Central, which then forwards to my cell phone and IMs me when I have a voice mail.

I turned off the little notifier in my taskbar for new email and set Outloo to check only once an hour (gasp)! Update: Nope, couldn’t handle it - changed it to once every 30 minutes. This is because I hate the phone - phone are worse time wasters than email for me.

I got rid of the majority of my desktop links.

I’m consolidated all of my miscellaneous “important” stuff in OneNote.

I find myself between projects today so I’m spending the afternoon streamlining my computer.

I watched Merlin Mann’s excellent Google presentation on Inbox Zero and it inspired me to get rid of the Outlook folders I had to individual clients.

Next I went through my MyDocuments folder and got rid of a bunch of absolute crap - logos for businesses I don’t own anymore, miscellaneous empty text files. Strange spreadsheets. All in the trash.

Now I’m cleaning out my applications. I NEVER use Rhapsody, so I’m not sure why it is on my computer. Same with RealPlayer <gag>.
