Week 3, Part 2 ~  De-Cluttering Your Computer

25/1/2017

​​Hello

​I hope you are enjoying your week.
 
We are now going to take a look at the rest of your computer. 
 
We're going to focus on the desktop. This is what greets you when you open your computer. 
 
What are you greeted with? Are there icons everywhere with little order or is everything filed and organised? Or somewhere in between?

Again we are going to set up some folders, similar to what we did with the inbox: 
  • Take a look at what you have on your desktop and work out some categories.
  • Create a folder for each of those categories.
  • Drag each of the relative photos, documents, spreadsheets into that folder. 
​Just so you know - this is a much quicker progress than email filing!
 
And don't forget you can use subfolders.
​​For mac users - often the dock can be crowded with applications and programs that don't really get used. You can remove them from your dock and then when you need to access them, they are in your applications folder. PC users can do a similar thing with the desktop - take a look at other elements of your desktop and see if any other parts of it can be streamlined. 
 
Have a look at the way your desktop is set out. Ideally it will be a fairly clear space that is easy to use. I have the documents and spreadsheets that are in progress on the desktop along with the folders. Once the document that I am using has been completed and I'm finished, it gets filed into its respective folder for subsequent use. Often what is on my desktop is there as a reminder that I need to complete it. My desktop is organised and used in a way that works for me. 
 
Think of your desk top as prime real estate!
 
Enjoy the process - you are doing something incredibly supportive for yourself. If you need help with the filing side of things and how to set it up, please make use of the comments section or feel free to email me. 
 
Take care.
