Let’s get started!

Delete Unnecessary Files and Folders

If your Mac is like most, your desktop background is probably cluttered with files and folders. This can make it difficult to find the files you need when you need them. To help keep it organized, delete any unnecessary files and folders.

Go through your files and folders, and delete any that you don’t need. Be sure to check hidden folders, such as the trash and library folders too. 

Create Folders to Group Files Together

Another way to arrange it systematically is to create folders to group files together. This can be helpful if you have a lot of files or if you want to keep certain things together. To create a folder, right-click on your desktop and select new folder.

Name it and then drag and drop the files you want to put in the folder. Alternatively, you can select the files you want to put in it and then go to file > new folder with selection.

Make Use of Stacks

Stack is a feature in Mac OS Mojave that helps you organize your desktop by automatically stacking files into neat groups. Here’s how to use it:

• Enable Stacks
• Choose how you want it to be sorted
• Group your files into stacks
• Access the files in a stack 

Stacks are a great way to keep your desktop organized and tidy. Make sure to give it a try!

Rearrange Your Icons to Your Liking 

Mac desktops usually have a lot of icons on them. You can rearrange your icons to your liking by clicking and dragging them around. If you want to put an icon in a different place, hold down the control key while you click and drag it.

You can also put your icons in folders to organize them better. To do this, you can click and drag an icon onto another icon. 

Select a Simple Background

It’s easy to overlook your Mac’s desktop background, but it can be a powerful tool for organizing your files and folders. The first step is to select a nice background that fits your personality.

If you’re not sure what to choose, try searching for “minimalist desktop backgrounds” or “abstract desktop backgrounds.” 

If you want something personalized, you can try to make a background of your own. You can even add a custom business logo to match your selection. 

This will ensure that your files and folders are always in order, making it easier to find what you’re looking for.
