That's what I'm doing this weekend.
Also, I am building my list of COMPANIES NOT TO WORK FOR OR ACCEPT CALLS FROM. Got only one call today from a company, wanted me to travel to a city 45 miles from my home, $75 edocs. No thanks, too far, holiday weekend, your offer is too low, you pay slow, 2-star company in Riverside county. They must think all counties are as depressed as they are.
Gotta start higher than that, good luck, though. She almost, not quite, apologized for taking up my time. I wanted to tell her to find a better place to work.

Agreed! Knowing who NOT to work with is VERY important
I go through my contacts every November regardless of how busy I am. I don't know why November, I've just always done that--regardless of my line of business.
I flag all the clients I won't work for anymore. If they're a big client (sometimes they are) I write a letter thanking them for the business, and explain how I've changed my business model and can no longer accommodate their needs, and wishing them the best in their business elsewhere.
This is one business practice I'll NEVER give up. It's become a ritual for me, and it's perhaps the most productive business practice I have aside from monthly profit and loss statements. (Also known as "reality-checks")
