Title says all. No explanation needed. It's basically just a to-do list of useful stuff that you can do when you're stuck in your house because of cold, icky snow, with nothing but your trusty laptop. Well, let's get going...

1. Empty your inbox. Many people have thousands of emails in their inbox, where many are already read and left in the inbox because "they may be important later" but "later" never seems to come. You need an Archive folder (In Gmail, this is the button "All Mail". In other email programs, you have to make your own folder, but it is so worth it.) Inbox clean in no time.

2. Sort out your computer calendar. Even if you don't have one, consider desktop application Rainlendar. It rocks.

3. Sort out your browser's bookmarks. Same as with the email, you ought to have lots of "read me later" stuff in your bookmarks that you just forgot about. Clean them. Now.

4. Decorate your laptop. Mine looks exactly like a 4-computers-in-one Vista, but it's a one computer XP. Amazing, the stuff you can do with an old XP, eh?
