FENCES: Organize Your Desktop
Long ago, my desktop was littered with tons of different icons all over the place and I wasted too much valuable time constantly looking for what I was trying to accomplish. They all had good intentions, but Windows kept rearranging them -- and I'm easily distracted. Not to mention all my different browser tabs and pop-up notifications. There has to be some method to make Windows less of a distraction and more of a productivity tool.
Let me introduce you to one program that has been very helpful in my journey. The Fences tool can be downloaded. The latest basic version costs a modest $10. You can group icons together into groups that work best for you -- such as documents, tools, folders,websites and communication tools -- and more! So, this way, your brain sort of already knows where to look for what you're looking for, instead of searching all over the place.
