Autumn Cleaning

I like to keep my queue of incoming items under control. Recently I noticed several vectors that I did tend to, and decided to deal with them as well. After I dealt with them, I've been a little negligent, but now they're fully under control again:

1. Home Email Inbox (KMail) - down to zero messages.

2. GMail's Inbox - down to zero messages.

3. GMail's folders - down to zero unread messages in all of them except in the Mandriva Cooker and Mandriva Bugs folders, which I don't need to keep at bay. I previously left many unread messages there, but now I decided to keep them at bay as well.

4. Bookmarks in Firefox's Main Bookmarks Menu - down to zero items. I often bookmark them there to read, sort or otherwise deal with later.

5. Bookmarks in Konqueror's Main Bookmarks Menu - down to zero items.

6. Unread web feed in my web feed aggregator (Akregator) - down to zero items.

7. Files in the root of the home directory - down to zero.

Did I miss anything? See this Perlcast Interview with Tom Limoncelli on "Time Management for System Administrators" for more information on keeping your incoming items at bay.
