Summer Cleaning Update

This summer cleaning actually isn’t as hard as I thought it would be. I originally thought I would have to set aside a day of just sitting at my computer and work on cleaning everything out but most of my tasks I’ve been to accomplish with an episode (or a whole season) of “Friends” playing in the background. You can see my original to-do list here!

Cleaning out Facebook – I’ve narrowed the friend count down to 776. Mostly just deleting people that I don’t say “Happy Birthday” to when their birthday comes up or if I tend to just skip over their newsfeed updates. The rest of my cleaning will just come along when I see people on my newsfeed and just directly delete them on there instead of going through the mass friends list again.

Cleaning out iTunes – We’re down to 1,985 songs (from 7,000+)! A lot of the tracks I have are audiobooks though and I’ve unchecked them all so when I shuffle through my iTunes library, hopefully there won’t be any songs that I just skip right through.

Clearing out (my personal) Tumblr – I cleaned out some of the blogs I wasn’t paying attention to and ones that weren’t getting updated and then did some searches through my address books to see if there were people I knew that I was following. Final result: 135 blogs.

Clearing out Twitter – I already did this a while ago but just a quick look through to make sure everything is in its right place. I’m only following 50 tweeples now!

LinkedIn – Added all the people that sent me invitations and did a quick click through to see if there was anyone I knew and sent them invitations. LinkedIn is all about making connections with people even though you might not know them THAT well.

iCleaner – This one was easy. Download and run.

iPad – Cleaned up the apps that I don’t use and organized all my ebooks into different genres.

Hard drive – Squared away all my old school work, organized my photos and cleaned up the rest of my computer so I could free up space.
Looks my summer cleaning is coming along pretty well! What’s on your summer cleaning to do list?
