It is Friday and Fridays are for fun. It really wasn't a bad week but it wasn't a good one either. One of the downsides to being self employed is keeping all of the electronic equipment and computers working. Right now I am having trouble with two pieces of technology that I can not even look at without wanting to scream or cry. It has been one of those weeks when I feel like I am the only thing in my office that works.
In between fixing things I managed to get some work done sell some real estate and do more of that de-cluttering that I mentioned on New Years day. My paper shredder broke but I had 8 pounds of paper shredded by a professional, for a mere $.79 a pound and I managed to get rid of some holiday "stuff" by taking it to the local thrift shop. They actually like stuff and re-sell it. The store kind of looks like a more organized and cleaner version of my basement.
I have a before and after picture of my top desk drawer and yes the crayons are mine and no I do not use them to write real estate contracts. We use electronic contracts.

Everything in the drawer works, it is all low tech. I was thrilled to discover that I have a life time supply of paper clips, staples and glue sticks. I have no idea what I will use the pile of thumb tacks for but at least I know where to find them and I think they all work.

Congrats on the desk drawer. Strangely my big New Years resolution was NOT to lose weight this year. I’ve done that every year – so even though I still need to lose weight – its time to shake things up. So I decided to try something new…Clean out the cobwebs of my space. Too much accumulated junk, too little time to control it. My first project – my desk drawers….
then you should join Linda’s 365 days of eliminating crap on facebook. we are cheering each other on.
My Friday was spent correcting dead links in my websites and blogs. It is important to make productive use of our downtime in real estate.
