On: Ask HN: How do you organise your hard drive?

Desktop is the dumping ground for screenshots for me. I take a lot of screenshots at work which get pasted into things like JIRA tickets, slack etc

These end up accumulating on my desktop over the years until I can be bothered to delete them

Screenshots are a big part of my workflow too, and this made things feel a lot cleaner for me. This will automatically put all your screenshots into a specific folder (assuming you're on OSX).

    mkdir ~/Pictures/Screenshots
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Pictures/Screenshots

This used to be me until I started using screenshot shortcuts that put images in the clipboard instead of files. You can paste directly into jira, slack, hangouts, whatsapp web, and many other places.
