My Simple Productivity Hack

How a daily hack has transformed my work routine.

Every morning, my desktop is a blank slate with just my main task as a wallpaper.

It's a simple trick that's really improved how I start my day.

I set it up so I don't have to fuss over it.

Auto desktop clean-up

I use an app called 'Clear' that organizes my desktop files into date-categorized folders in my Google Drive every evening at 6:30pm. It keeps things neat.

Priority task front and center

I built a little Mac app that turns my top task for the day into a desktop wallpaper with a soothing gradient background. It keeps me focused.

Simple, clean, and effective.
