Chuckle of the day: Tech Support

I have been in the Commercial Banking Industry for the past 20 years, educated with an MBA and well versed in computer applications. Given the magnitude of technological advancement, I have needed assistance from Elizabeth in numerous aspects of Information Technology; from PC installations, to software updates, to tutorials on Microsoft advancement, she has been instrumental in keeping me up to date with the latest innovations in the industry. Not only is she in tune with the newest applications, but her teaching skills and reliability are second to none.

Declutter for a better LIFE!

Posted on August 22, 2011 by admin

DECLUTTER.

Extracting clutter is the first step to the organization of your life and your space. An environment that is purified, refined, and free of the disruptive chaos of overflowing “stuff” not only has a significant bearing on the aesthetics of your home, but it also affects you. There is nothing more unmotivating and hindering than a living space in which one cannot live. Clutter is in essence the cholestorol coursing through the body of your home. It is easy to obtain it in high amounts, hard to get rid of, and has negative long term affects. While this detrimental condition can be treated, the bad news is that is it contagious. Eventually we become the space in which we are living, or trying to live. A cluttered home yields a cluttered mind. Take care of your clutter before it starts to take you over.

REFRESH.

Living clean is an art. The mindset of many is that having a clean home is an attempt made every so often when the “dirty” is noticeable, or when guests will be soon be invited to socialize. That’s not clean, that’s stress. Clean is about maintenance, not an attempt at a colossal overhaul all at once. The masterpiece that your home then becomes is a fresh living space, one which you can actually enjoy, that will leave you feeling rejuvenated.

ORGANIZE.

There are those who would say that to be organized is to have a place for everything. At the same time others would say that it means having a neat area in which they know where everything is. Whether you keep a filing cabinet of documents that are separated in folders and alphabetized by topic chrongologically, or simply utilize a free range filing cabinet (known to the rest of the world as a desk), organization is not about a strict method of rules. The outcome is finding what works best for you so that you will always be able to find what you need.

SIMPLIFY.

You become the things with which you associate. A messy, dirty, unorganized home will have such effects on your own mind and body leaving you overwhelmed and uninspired. You now have the option to order off of a menu that is tailored to the individual needs of your home. You decide what you want and your only worry then becomes what you are going to do with all of your new free time.

YOUR LIFE.

Some things last forever, but all you really have is a lifetime. I’ve yet to find a person who would rather spend their free time cleaning and organizing instead of entertaining friends, visiting with family, or partaking of leisure activities. Take the time to free your mind, start concentrating better, and learn how to declutter the people and things that hold you back. Don’t live the only lifetime you have a slave to the demands of housekeeping when you have the option to keep your house fresh.

Digital Hoarding

Posted on June 20, 2011 by admin

Are you a Digital Hoarder?
Think about it… do you really need EVERY picture you EVER took?

Do you need all of those files you are never going to look at again…? If you really want that recipe, just print it out! Chances are when you cook you don’t go to your computer first. And if you do, its probably to look that exact same recipe by doing a search ONLINE.

I am going through a major life change soon. It has forced me to look at what I am keeping and why. I have two 1TB hard drives with RAID on my PC desktop computer. I am looking to UPGRADE my Mac to a 1TB Hard drive. Do I really need that Desktop PC?

My fiance (Soon-to-be- and reason for the life change) will probably be getting a new PC Laptop. Isn’t 2 iPhones, 1 PC and 1 MAC enough for a household of 2? On the other hand my parents and siblings (total of 5 people) have an internet connected WII, a Netbook, a Desktop and 3 17″ Laptops, not to mention 3 iPhones. How many more internet Devices does one need?!

Wow, just writing this has motivated me to CLEAN out my digital life! I saw a video on digital hoarding that mentions how knowing where to put ones files and what to keep and what to get rid of is a SKILL. If you think it is a skill comment below. If you think it isn’t a Skill tell me why in a comment below….

If you do think knowing how to organize your digital life is a skill and you don’t possess it, give me a call! I will come to your home or office and give you a lesson in the art of ZEN computing. Make your computer and Digital life happy again! 904-738-0471 Call Today! (Tues, Thurs, and Sat appointments available)
