Desktop tidiness tip. Create a folder (I use Downloads) and tell yourself, “Anything I add to this folder will be deleted without a second of thought.” Now you have a place to plop stuff whenever and then clean effortlessly. You’re welcome.
@rands and add an automation (for example with Hazel) to automatically delete files older than X so that there's no need to periodically purge it yourself.
@rten@rands I came here to say this exact thing 😄 I have a folder just called 1WEEK on my desktop that is the temporary holding place for these kind of files.
