Organize with Free Computer Desktop Wallpaper

Sharing is caring!

Life is better when simple and organized. And yet life seems to get in the way of getting and staying organized. Every second spent organizing is rewarded with much less stress, much more productivity and simple peace. That extends to taking time to organize with desktop wallpaper. It’s a quick and easy trick to manage desktop files and projects. You can grab one of these free desktop wallpapers for your desk top in your choice of four color combinations.

How many times has a boss or client asked for a file and you spend frantic minutes that feel like hours searching your desktop for it? How many times have you almost forgotten a deadline because a project file is lost in your mess of a computer? How many times have you punched every variation you can think of for a file into the search bar looking for a file?

And the same thing goes for locating a personal document, photo or file. 

Life on your computer doesn’t have to be like that.

I think all of life runs more smoothly, more efficiently and with less stress when organized. It’s the same with your desktop and files.

To make organizing your computer desktop easier, I created four (it was originally three, but I was having so much fun that I added one more) desktop wallpaper options for you. If you’d prefer you can design your own, you can use this tutorial from IheartPlanners. It’s easy to follow.
