I just re-organized all of the files on my desktop. Phewwww, that felt good! Keeping digital files organized on the computer can be so tough, especially if you are creative and must “see” things to know they exist (it’s not always easy to see all of your files- especially when they all look the same).

I must admit, I caught a few documents on my desktop called “signed form” or “untitled 01” which clearly means I saved documents in a rush. Lesson learned: slow down and think about how to properly name each document in order to avoid reopening the file just to check what it is <– big time waster

On another note, one of my favorite things to do after I re-organize my desktop is change my wallpaper photo for a fresh new inspirational start. Here’s the wallpaper/photo I’m using taken by my good friend and amazing HDR photographer Angela of A B Pan Photography – can you believe this is a real sunrise in DC?! I wish we had this beautiful pink sunrise everyday!! If you ❤ travel & landscape photos, you will love https://www.abpan.com/ 🙂
