In many Chinese homes, the annual housecleaning is still done at New Year’s time. It is the Chinese way of sending out the old year and welcoming in the New Year. It gives you, at very least, no excuse for a change every year!

One of our project management practise was to keep all document related to a web development project in those hardcover folder. This is a decision made (by me), two years ago! Just in case, we need them someday - or never!

It happens to be never. So, we decided to throw it away. They are noice, they take up resources from our project managers to sort them out. Business change, and we are now focusing in only few projects! Ideally, we want to go greener and faster!

New table alignment, hair cut, shortcut to the office, are painful changes. Let’s see how much we gain from this change…

First, we empty all the shelves. We kept papers with only single-sided printed for reuse purpose. The rest of papers are donated to a charity organization who can come and pick up from your office regularly.

The result, one empty shelves, 5 rims of reused A4s, getting-to-know the contact of the charitable pick up service (call 03-79811320 if you have a change too. Sorry, I can’t recall their name).

Yes, another 10 extra PCs, 3 extra hubs, cables, 8 power adapters, bigger office space, power saving…

Plus a new playground (combined four tables by removing 8 legs) to have fun and meeting for our upcoming new projects!
