Folder tidy

You need this if…

• Your desktop is a wall of screenshots.
• You have a folder called “Misc” and another called “Misc 2.”
• New files go to Downloads because you don’t know where else they’d go.

01What it reads

• Files

02What you get

A proposed folder structure and a list of exactly which files would move where, for you to look over first.

03What stays with you

Nothing moves until you’ve read the plan and said go, and it never deletes files.

04How you ask

“My Drive is a mess. Fix it.”

Try it today.

Paste this into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, then add your own material where it says so. Take out card numbers, passwords and anything private about other people first.

I want to clean up a messy folder. Below is a list of what's in it right now (file and folder names, copied from Finder).

Here's what I mostly use this folder for: [one or two lines about your work]

Please:

When it runs on its own.

Run it once to sort the backlog, then let it check your Desktop and Downloads each week. It writes up the plan and waits for your approval before touching anything.

That’s what Second Nature is: this job and 9 to 11 more like it, set up on your own computer around how you work, with me.
