- Move your twitter, Facebook, foursquare, Linked In and MySpace account streams to Hootsuite.
- Peruse your Facebook friends--this is a good reminder of who's seeing your personal information, pictures and reading your status updates. Un-friend anyone who should not be seeing your vacation pictures.
- Make a list of movies you'd like to see or update your Netflix queue. This will save time on upcoming dinner-and-a-movie nights. Bonus: it's fun.
- Purge your Twitter account from following people/topics that no longer interest you.
- Draft a general email and save it in your draft file. This is a great tool when you hear from someone you haven't seen/spoken to in a while. I absolutely dread having to reply to those "So how are you?" emails. This way I have the basis of something already written.
- Purge your Twitter account from following people/topics that no longer interest you.
- Go through your hard copy or electronic address book and take out old contacts--especially ex-boyfriends or anyone else your phone should not be "accidentally" dialing.
- List 3 books for swap on paperbackswap.com and then assemble the packing materials you will need to ship them off to their new lucky owner. A Sharpie, packing tape and the blank side of a brown paper shopping bag will do.
- Edit your Internet bookmarks.
- Unsubscribe from blogs you no longer read.
- De-clutter your email in box (computer, blackberry, IPhone) of as many un-needed emails as possible.
- Unsubscribe from 5 emails you receive and never read (although you really should sign up for my newsletter which comes out once a week on Thursdays).
- Email your old boss/influential work colleague to check-in. You never know when you'll need a recommendation.
- Check your Facebook privacy settings. Here's a guide Facebook and Job Search Privacy Tips.
- Organize business cards and any addresses you've written down and add them to your contacts list. I like using my Gmail contacts list since I can refer to it from any computer.
