In the course of “Internet travels” and links that friends send and post, I have managed to gather some links that I hope you might enjoy too. These links may be “off your beaten path,” but you might just learn something or pass them forward to other interested friends.
Decluttering Rules
Whether it’s clutter at home or clutter at your station, this might be of help in resolving that problem. Here are 12 golden rules for decluttering.
Uncluttering by Dumping That CD Collection
If you worked in radio back in the days when record companies were big on promotional CD, you might have a large (or a VERY large CD collection). To help with that clutter, you might consider “ripping” your CDs onto a hard drive (then copy that to a back-up and safely store it).

It has worked for me (so far).
