I’m cleaning my office. It’s neck-high in papers, mail, and stuff that needs to be put away. Or maybe dragged to the curb and shot.
Part of cleaning my office seems to include things that aren’t actually cleaning, as such. Like, donating to charities that I want to give money to. Or paying bills. Or ripping those CDs, so I can put them in a box and put the box away somewhere, so they aren’t taking up space in my office.*
And it occurs to me that I have (usually) small piles of papers that need taking care of “not right this minute, but sometime soon”. And the problem with that theory is that “sometime soon” doesn’t often come along. Or when it does, it’s not technically “soon” anymore.
So, that implies I need to have a scheduled time that is “soon”, to take care of these things. And “soon” should come around at least once a month.
How do other people manage this?
