I have a goal of reducing the 37-years of accumulated office clutter by pulling together all the institutional research have done the past 37 years (thank you former research assistants) and combining it with present data collection processes. however, I am amused and annoyed to discover how technology sometimes makes data acquisition more difficult. You also might want to consider moving the dock to the left or right.Right now two of my student research assistants are helping me pull together a blog piece dedicated to the Carroll alumni I have known as students across the past 37 years. Then right-click an empty space on the dock and select Position on Screen. Right-click the apps you don’t need and go to Options > Remove from Dock. Most people never really use even half of these apps and as new apps get installed, the dock begins to look like a gigantic queue with microscopic icons. It can also help you hide menu bar icons when they’re not in use (for example, the battery icon is hidden when your Mac is charging).Īpple ships Macs with a whole bunch of app icons on the dock. Instead, consider using an app like Bartender, which helps you organise your menu bar. Many apps work well only from the menu bar, which means that removing the menu bar icon isn’t always a good idea. If you use a lot of apps on your Mac, your menu bar is bound to be cluttered. It’s easy to access these files anytime, and your desktop will be much cleaner too. These apps allow you to dump a bunch of files or other data into a separate space right from your desktop. To prevent this kind of file build-up in the future, use an app like Unclutter or Yoink. This will immediately clean up the desktop without deleting any of your files. Right-click the desktop again, and select Group Stacks By > Kind.
Right-click on the desktop and select Use Stacks. It feels in the moment like that will make these files easier to access when you need them, but they have a way of multiplying - one or two files becomes 10 or 20 faster than you realise, cluttering up your desktop. If you can’t delete everything from your desktop, though, you can at least try grouping files to make the desktop more organised. The desktop becomes the de facto place to dump files you’re going to need later. Here’s how to do a quick end-of-year tune-up on your Mac. Taking a few moments now to freshen up your Mac will make it cleaner and faster, so it can help you meet any other goals and resolutions ahead of you in 2023. As you look forward to the new year and new beginnings in all areas of your life, your tech should not be ignored.
