What’s on your computer desktop?
Desktop CleanUp
Few folders and icons or a mess.
I for one usually had a messy computer desktop,that people see and go “woo…”
So here are 3 things that can be done about it:
1 – How do things get there?
Do you put everything there because you “may” need it someday?
Is that where all downloaded files go?
You think it makes you look important
2 – Temporary solution
Create a folder that just says “Desktop Stuff” so whatever your reasoning is, you can still use it in the folder
Create a folder saying “NOW” in case your current projects and tasks clog it up
3 – Resolve for good
Send things to their place from the beginning; when installing, downloading, saving
Have a separate place for downloaded files, so they skip your desktop
Delete – Delete – Delete; sometimes I dig deep into my computer and some junk makes me think “what was I thinking?” – so get rid of the junk and think twice before putting more in there.
Bonus: On Windows and there’s a way to put icons into the bottom toolbar thingy, so keep the commonly used icons there.
