![]() ![]() ![]() One can’t create if conditions stifle creativity, and a virtual desktop in disarray does just that. Yes, some creative types will argue that they can’t create when things are neat and orderly, but that’s like a painter saying they paint best on a ripped canvas. ![]() Your work won’t be as crisp in an environment that resembles a virtual junkyard. A computer groaning under the weight of unused apps, long-silenced games, family photos, videos of your child’s Christmas play, project spreadsheets from 2007 and all those other unnecessary files can run slow and, more crucially, cause you to run slower. A cluttered desktop isn’t just a time suck it’s also a performance zapper. By organizing your virtual desktop, you’ll be giving yourself something truly priceless: time. Think about how much time you spend waiting for a slow computer to load, searching for inefficiently stored files or wading through saved photos that will never be needed again. Time is the most scarce and valuable commodity that any of us have. There’s a lot of pressure to keep one’s physical space clean, but no one can see your virtual one, so what’s the big deal? As it turns out, there are many benefits to cleaning your virtual desktop. What better time than “Clean Your Virtual Desktop Day”? This is celebrated the third Monday of every October. Just as a real desktop must be cleaned from time to time, virtual desktops need uncluttering, too. Now, you’ve got a smeary screen and an unkempt virtual desktop full of disorganized and long-forgotten files. Remember when you first unboxed your laptop? The screen was smudge-free, the keyboard didn’t have lunch crumbs lodged between keys, and it held a sense of newness similar to a freshly minted car. Remember the day you first unboxed your laptop? Bring back that sense of newness on Clean Your Virtual Desktop Day this year. ![]()
