Clean Surfaces

First and foremost, clean up working surfaces. This is supposed to be done at the end of working periods, but it seldom is. Perhaps because there are lots of surfaces to cover.

Desktops. Inboxes. Tasks lists. Files and folders. Sticks and disks. Tools and machinery. Links and bots. Everything that stand in the way must get out. Everything, both real and virtual flavours.

The time spent enhances productivity and, most importantly, security. To backup everything before work, in case something goes wrong, crazy, or simply experimental. Freakily controling versions, at the very least forwarding yourself stable releases.
