The Idea of Uncluttering

Firstly, what is clutter?
For those who don't know, you don't have to look in dictionary. Here it is.

clutter

–verb (used with object)
1. to fill or litter with things in a disorderly manner. e.g. All kinds of papers cluttered the top of his desk.

–verb (used without object)
2. to run in disorder; move with bustle and confusion.
3. to make a clatter.
4. to speak so rapidly and inexactly that distortions of sound and phrasing result.

–noun
5. a disorderly heap or assemblage; litter. e.g. It's impossible to find anything in all this clutter.
6. a state or condition of confusion.
7. confused noise; clatter.
8. an echo or echoes on a radar screen that do not come from the target and can be caused by such factors as atmospheric conditions, objects other than the target, chaff, and jamming of the radar signal.


Well, some explanations are quite confused but anyway, in hokkien it's known as luan chi cha, and in cantonese it's loon chat pak chou, and in mandarin it's luan chi pak chao. (Why hokkien translation missing by one word?)

So, what's Uncluttering? Aiya, I lazy to provide you the definition of un. It's to undo cluttering. Means make everything as organized, neat and as clear as possible.

My Email

I hate having a lot of email accounts. But inevitably, I have three right now.
One in Hotmail, because I use MSN Live Messenger.
One in Gmail, because I used it to try Gmail and now is this blog's account.
The last one, also Gmail because I got another blogger account to blog things that I don't want others to read.

I want to delete the 2nd Gmail account but it's kinda waste to let go my previous blogger URL that I cracked my head to come up with. So, I just leave it there. See whether I can do anything with it.

Luckily I use Mozilla Thunderbird to help me maintain. So I can just read mails from two Gmail accounts at only one place. Unfortunately, I don't know how to link it with Hotmail. So I still have to log in manually to read my mail in Hotmail. For those who know, please teach me :D

My Gmail is full of junkmail. So an advice is, don't simply sign up for subscription. Though they said they will never sell your information, but your email address does worth a penny to Viagra sellers. I got a lot of junk mails asking me to buy Viagra, which I don't need one right now at this age.


My Social Network.

I got Friendster.
I got Facebook.
I got Multiply.
I got PG Corner. (Join this one.)

I deactivated Facebook. Might consider to delete this.
Clearing all the content in Friendster. Considering deleting.
Downloading all my songs and wanted photos from Multiply. Considering deleting.
Join PG Corner! Why? Join first. Don't ask so much.


My Blog.

I will find a use for all my blogs. I still love them.


My Computer.

This is damn cluttered. I don't have enough space to use. I tried to find something to delete so I can have more space but I can't find anything useless to delete. All seems important to me. Maybe after I upload all my pics to Picasa, then I can get rid of them. I can access to them anytime I want with Picasa 3. The software to organize photos...

Eh, my Porns collection has a DND sign. (DND = Do Not Delete) Use very little space also only... 14.5 GB nia, but I used weeks and months and years to collect them. =.=" But I still think I will delete them soon... Errr... when? Soon lar...


My Room.

This is the worst cluttered place in my world. Lazy Unable to do anything about it.




So, how about you? Do something to get rid of clutter from your space and mind now~!
