Welcome to The Daily Quote—a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for February 10th. Today is National Clean Out Your Computer Day.
Yep, it’s the day we’re supposed to clear out those ancient files, delete blurry vacation photos we'll never share, and maybe uninstall the software that is taking up space on your hard drive for years without ever being used. And while we’re on the subject of clearing things out, let’s give an honorable mention to Sick of Food Waste Day. Because really, why stop at your computer? If you’re decluttering your hard drive, why not also tackle that mystery container in the back of your fridge? You know the one—the science experiment you keep avoiding.
That brings us to today’s quote from Albert Einstein, who once said, "Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity."
Now, Einstein probably wasn’t talking about your messy PC desktop or that expired yogurt, but the principle applies. When we clear out the junk—whether it’s digital, physical, or mental—we create space for better things. A clean computer runs faster. A clean fridge smells better and makes cooking more enjoyable... if you don't have to throw out key ingredients that aren't supposed to be green.
So, here’s your challenge for today: delete your unnecessary files, empty your computer’s trash bin (because we all know digital trash is still trash), and while you’re at it, check the expiration dates on your condiments. If your mustard is old enough to vote, it’s time to say goodbye. That’s it for today! Thanks for spending a few minutes with me on The Daily Quote.

I’ll be back tomorrow, same pod time, same pod station with another daily quote.
