While James has his entire house boxed up, I’m looking at clutter everywhere in my own home. Time for a little post-spring cleaning today for us. Ironically, Web Worker Daily hit this very topic just yesterday, although they were speaking of things on a digital level. Although many of these thoughts are common-sensical, I’m sure we could all use a little reminder to clean our digital workspaces. In fact, I just popped a recurring quarterly appointment into my Google Calendar to do these WWD suggestions and more:
- Application inventories
- Duplicate file and app removal
- Deletion of old download files and installers
- Examination of digital organization systems
- Move data to external or online systems
- Consider your active e-mail datastores… is it time to archive?
As mobile devices gain more connectivity options, some of them seem to be offering less storage capacity, so a cleanup like this is likely to become more important in the future for many folks. That doesn’t mean we won’t continue to use local storage, but we might as well keep it optimized, no?
