The 5-Minute Hack to Cure Your Desktop Chaos
Stop drowning in files. Learn how one simple script can organize your entire digital life while you sleep.
The "Digital Hoarding" Trap
Does your computer desktop look like a war zone? We've all been there. You save a file "just for a second," download a PDF to read later, or take a quick screenshot. Before you know it, your beautiful wallpaper is covered in hundreds of icons.
What is this "Automation Hack"?
You don't need to be a programmer to use this. The hack is a tiny script—think of it as a digital robot butler—that lives on your computer and never takes a day off.
Here's how it works in plain English:
- Looks at the messy pile of files on your Desktop
- Reads the file type (Is it a picture? A document? A video?)
- Moves the file instantly into a designated folder (e.g., "All Photos" or "Work Docs")
- Runs automatically every hour, day, or whenever you want
