That way if I want to find a particular payslip I can search "payslip" and I will find it.ĭownload or save directly into where you will keep it.
For example, my payslips are titled with the format "YYYY_MM_Payslip". By having proper names for files, it makes them easier to identify and search for. If you use 'my documents' and other default folders, you will find programs also like to put their files and folders there without your consent, which clutters them! By putting things into my own file system, I choose what files go where and the computer self-clutters away from my files. Nothing goes into the default computer folders. This is roughly how it is divided, to give you an idea: To create this, I started by creating a "home" and "work" folder and started putting files into them. I created a folder called "Darkstar's_Files" as far up as possilbe, where all my files go. I recommend you read the article, but here is what I have personally done: I got a new computer and it was so easy to transfer just one folder and know I had what I wanted and was leaving all the junk behind. I find that the reasons for decluttering the physical world are similar to a computer, so I thought I would post this.įor the longest time my computer was a cluttered mess: so many icons on the desktop I could barely see the background, finding files was difficult, the downloads folder a huge mess, and knowing where to put things was confusing.Ībout a year ago, I found this article and my computer has been clutter-free ever since: my desktop has 1 icon on it, my downloads folder is virtually empty, and I know exactly where to look when searching for something.
