What are your Goals for the week? #119

Friday was not fun. I was cleaning some old emails out of my inbox, clicked the wrong thing at the wrong time and put my entire inbox in the trash.
Entire inbox read, unread, and unsorted all in the trash. No control Z to undo it. And now they were all marked as read so I don't know what has really been read. There was already a week's worth of trash in there. My inbox trash is set to auto delete after a week.
So I spent time Friday and Saturday reading subjects line and pulling out what was needed. Took a while but inbox is decent now.

Like a notebook or some printout. When I interview I keep my resume there. It was overflowing so I stopped and cleaned it. Yes i did that after I made my goals list then came back to add it to the list.

I'm so sorry for what happened with your e-mail on Friday. For this week I'm focusing on study/plan pre high-school review to apply for some university this year, also keep going with Python challenges from HackerRank. Unfortunally reading your post made me remember that my Discord servers are a mess too.

Thanks, It took a while but I got the email fixed.
For Discord, I made folders for communities, conventions, and entertainment. Then left the servers I visit most on the main page. Some communities i visit a lot those are om main. But less active ones in a folder. Same with conventions, it 's only active a few days a year, n need to see it all year.
