I know of a distinguished professor
who swept his desktop periodically
into a big envelope which he then labeled
"Desktop March 2010" (or whatever date).

In case this is not clear, I am talking about
a real desktop, not an electronic one.

Similarly his secretary found envelopes
labeled "Unopened mail March 2010" etc.
