Whether you are writing a letter, addressing an envelope or putting together the most important presentation of the year, your choice of fonts will say something about you. Lazy or unconcerned writers let the default fonts speak for them. And nothing says “I really don’t care” like the default Times New Roman (for Windows) or Cambria (if you are on a Mac) on your Word and email documents.

To make a font selection, consider two basic choices: Modern or Traditional?

T F J   If you select Traditional, narrow your choices to serif fonts. Serifs are those minute dangling projections that dangle off of the capital T F and J to the left. Generally, serif fonts are easier to read and discern for Americans in print. However, the extra embellishments can make reading a serif font more difficult on a small type size – especially on a computer monitor.

It’s hard to fight the siren’s call of new technology. I am lusting for an iPad even as I write this. But I figure doing right by the environment and my wallet means taking care of what I already own. That was my frame of mind as I tackled fixing our toaster oven.

Out with the Old

January is the perfect time of year to spend an afternoon or evening clearing out paper work. Knowing which files to keep is confusing. Here’s a link to help identify how long to keep paper-based records. As important as keeping them is where to keep them. Invest in cardboard bankers boxes or plastic totes and put old files (like anything prior to 2008) into the boxes and pack them into an attic or basement storage area to reduce the bulk in your daily living spaces. Mark the date when you can disgard them on the side. If you have a scanner, consider scanning paper files onto a portable hard drive and storing it in a safe deposit box at a bank or a fire box.
