Pull PlugIt’s the last day of 2012 and it’s time to do some house cleaning. As Stagers might put this...let's declutter. It’s certainly not the only tool in a stager’s arsenal, but it is an important one.

After looking at my subscriber list this morning, I quickly came to the realization that a little decluttering is in order. BTW...I hate to remove anybody from my subscriber list. Something about their topic selection, and writing skills made me put them on there, and I’m fiercely loyal, hence, my reluctance to delete anyone.

That being said though, it’s past time for some of my friends. If you’ve blogged in 2012 you’re still on my subscriber list. The ones that didn’t make the cut are the ones who haven’t blogged since 2010 and 2011. Really Rich...the chances of them coming back now are pretty remote, don’t you think? I think they’ve found something else to do if they haven’t blogged on Active Rain in over a year.

Why I kept them on my subscriber list this long is a mystery to me. It’s time to leave now so I can go look for new subscribers to add.

Rich, My subscriber list has remained the same for some time. People who haven't posted for a while still remain because I hope they come back! Wishful thinking perhaps...I enjoyed their posts very much! And...

Happy 2013!

A little decluttering is always good.  All the best in 2013.

I just saw maybe this month someone who hasn't been here for at least 2 years suddenly writes a post asking for help noticing a charity.  I haven't done this in awhile but the longer they stay at the bottom of the pile, the longer they have been here.

Sometimes I'll move subcribers I don't or haven't heard from in awhile to another list just like past clients but I always keep some record of all contacts somewhere.

Happy New Year Rich!  I have a couple people on my subscriber list that haven't written in awhile too.  It may be time to declutter and find some new favorites.

Wow I hadn't thought about it like that.

I guess I better clean house as well and make sure to keep up with my blog!

Happy New Year!

An excellent reminder for us all. I'm going to go declutter my subscriber list right now. Thanks, Rich!

Decluttering in every aspect of our lives and business is a good thing. Happy New Year!

Good idea to clean out the subscriber list and then ADD to it again.  I've just subscribed to you (not sure why I hadn't already) and I'm about the unscribe.  Out with the old, in with the new!  ;-)  Happy New Year Rich!

Rich, I was taking a few out here and there, too, every now and then. The last one on my list is Jon Washburn. Seems kinda weird to take him out, eh?

Hmmm... I haven't published a post on AR since 2007 and I still regularly login to read (and occasionally comment on) other people's posts.  Who knows?  Someday I may even decide to publish more posts on AR.

Rich - I've never cleared my subscriber list.  Maybe I should look at that.

Rich, I started this clean-up last week. Like you, I hate to delete anyone but I am also deleting those who didn't blog in 2012.

I am decluttering closets this time of year so I can clean up, too.

Happy new year and happy de-cluttering. Some things need to be done. If it's on your list, then it makes sense to go it.
