Click on one of the marked files, hold and drag it into the folder along with the rest.Hold Cmd down and click on the folder with your mouse to de-select it.Press Cmd+A to mark every item on your desktop.Press Cmd+N on your desktop to create a new folder and name it ‘Placeholder.’ Hit enter.If you can’t or are too lazy, here’s the Pareto version: If you can afford to spend 10–15 minutes, click on each file on your desktop and ask: “Where does this belong?” File accordingly. Wouldn’t you feel a lot better seeing this? Wallpaper available here. We use the word desktop so naturally in the context of computers, but have you ever thought about it like a physical desk?
