Embarrassing pics from the company Christmas party that you’d rather forget about. Drafts of files you have a newer copy of. Months old to do lists and notes that have long since been actioned. We’re talking about all those saved screenshots and gifs you’ve accumulated.
While it’s not quite Marie Kondo’s ‘does it spark joy’ method, the idea is the same. Ask yourself ‘will I ever look at this again?’ If the answer is no, it’s time to say goodbye. purge your filesīe ruthless with your file purge. Send anything you won’t need in the future to the recycle bin, and file away everything else in its proper place. It’s a graveyard for old screenshots, drafts and tons of other old and unnecessary files you’ll probably never look at again. So it tends to be the first place to become a mess.
For many of us, our desktop (or downloads folder) is where all the random files we work on end up.
