How to deal with a distraction on your desktop?
Distraction and clutter take a heavy psychological toll and can keep us from doing our best work.
When it comes to our personal technology, there are several things we can do to clean house.
Clear your desktop by putting all your files in one folder instead of strewn across your screen.
Turn off desktop notifications and remove distracting triggers like app icons and unnecessary bookmarks.
Leaving too many tabs open in your web browser slows down your machine and is distracting. Instead, save articles to Pocket to read later, use Evernote for pages you may need someday, and paste the URLs for websites inside the application where they’re needed.
Schedule 15 minutes on your calendar every week to do a desktop cleanse.
