I found this interesting article on MSN CareerBuilder:
Eight Tips for Spring Cleaning your Career
My Thoughts:
1. Update your resume - I haven't updated my resume for so long. I should do this more often...
2. Sort through your inbox - I need to sort through my Inboxes, whether it is my cellphone, my office email or my personal email. They're always full!
3. Tidy up your desk -For a few weeks, I made it a point to go through the files on my table and classify these as for trash, filing or delegating. But I've lagged behind and my desk is full of paper again! It is so hard to work with all those paper around me, but haven't had the chance to clear my desk yet.
4. Clean your closet - Nope, have not cleaned my closet in months. I wonder when I'll have the time...
5. Get schooled - I'm forced to "get schooled" so I can do my work well, especially with all the changes in my profession as an accountant and a finance person. Thankfully, I love learning and I believe in continuous education and development. "Studying" also helps me a lot in my teaching. I have more things to share and I get to observe other teachers as well.
6. Meet your neighbors - Something I think I've done well! I'm in constant bonding with my staff, my colleagues especially people I often interact with and my dear friends at work. Being at work is social activity in itself=)
7. Schedule some interviews - Unthinkable as of now...
8. Evaluate your situation - Something I've seriously done in the past few weeks.
Now I have a new list of things to do...

Reggie, can you hold off cleaning your closet until I get there in July? Baka kasi may ipamigay kang mga Tod's and Prada... ahem...
Seriously, treat your closet a bit like your desk and divide everything into four categories: Keep, Mend, Donate (to family/friends/charity), and Toss. I have an easy way to separate "Keep or Mend" from "Donate or Toss" -- if it hasn't been used in one or two years, it's to be donated or tossed.
#6 is probably hardest for me, but that's another story for another time. Glad you enjoy networking.

Hey D, thanks for the tip on how to clean my closet(s). Honestly, I have a hard time getting rid of my clothes but I do give a lot away especially with our limited closet space. Really, #6 is hard? That's the best thing I look forward to at work=)
