It's the little things.

It really is.  The little things that I get done help me to feel like I'm actually accomplishing something and like I can breathe a little bit easier.  I cleared off the desktop on my computer today (well, last night and today).  For a long time I kept it really clear and had a line of folders all with specific labels on the right side where I would store all of the stuff that is inevitably accumulated over time with downloads and what not.  The last year or so has been so crazy and stuff has piled up on my desktop to the point where there was pretty much no room left for anything else.  Most of the stuff was stuff that I used once and didn't even need anymore but I had let it get so out of control that I didn't know what was what anymore and knew I'd have to open each item to see if I needed it anymore before I either trashed it or stored it in a different folder.  The thought of actually doing that was not pleasant so I kept putting it off.  Last night I decided that I couldn't stand it anymore so I went through EVERYTHING and low and behold...my desktop is now cleared of all unnecessary crap and my folders look nice and neat again.  I look at my computer and a place in my head feels clearer...more able to think.  It's weird how that is, a cleaner environment makes everything easier, especially since I always have so much junk in my head that I can't get rid of.  There's no reason to have junk in my eyesight too.  And now I can actually see my desktop picture :)
