Your desktop is the first thing you see when you start your computer. This should be the most organized part of your electronic workspace. But what if your desktop looks like this? What will be the impressions of your classmates?
The Desktop offers many features that make using your computer easier. You can easily start programs or applications, copy and move files from one place to another and drag and drop files and program where you want them on the computer or even on to a program's icon to open a file.
Manage Your Own Desktop
Numerous studies have shown that your environment affects your productivity, and that even something as simple as color can influence your memory or creativity. Since most of our work now is done in the digital realm, it stands to reason that your desktop environment can play an important role in your productivity.
Your computer's desktop is a starting point for your entire computing experience, but—like anything else if you let it get ugly and messy your productivity will take a dive. Here's how to design and create an attractive desktop with built-in organization to keep your workspace nice, clean, and productive with minimal effort.
How to manage your desktop:
1. Create 5 folders in My Documents called :
COMPUTER HARDWARE SERVICING 78
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education Inbox - Put unprocessed items that don’t have a place yet in here. This may be items like software installers you’ve downloaded, files sent to you from colleagues, and random text clippings. Action Items - Put items requiring an action that takes more than 2 minutes in here. These may be items such as forms to fill out, large applications to install and setup, and files to upload. On Hold - Put items you aren’t yet ready to do or complete in here. These may be articles you’re thinking of reading, sketches for potential projects, and information about classes you’re thinking about taking. Current Projects - Put files related to active projects in here. This folder contains files you’re currently working on as well as reference files for a project. Each project gets its own unique folder. Archive - Put completed projects, general reference items, and anything else you might want to look at again in here
Tip: By placing the underscore in front of the name of the file folder, it will force the folder to display at the top of the list in My Documents.
2. Now move all relevant files from your desktop into these folders. If you have a large number of files, you can move everything into the ―Inbox‖ folder and organize it later.
3. All that should be left on the desktop is program icons.
