There are many things in my life and work that I need to streamline, and an important skill to facilitate this is learn how to say no.

I've been trying to organize and clean up I don't know how many gigs of information, some dating back to 1992, the year I started working online full-time. My first online community builder/facilitator job was with Arts Wire, an online network for artists, that used a unix-based, text-based online discussion software. Telecollaborator.
