ADVICE

Automating Document Management

  • To fix a messy Downloads folder, automate the process of filing or deleting files using Hazel.
  • Create automations for one file type at a time to clear out similar files.
  • For example, screenshots can be automatically deleted after 24 hours unless moved elsewhere.
  • Hazel's preview feature helps determine which files fall under a rule, ensuring accurate automation.
  • Start by clearing out the obvious junk, like ICS files, using Hazel to open them in Fantastical and then delete them after a short time if not manually saved.
