How To Attain Desktop Nirvana
A while back I came across a great article on how to achieve the ‘Kinkless Desktop‘, or what I would refer to as Desktop Nirvana. The article was very insightful and finally got me moving to achieve total desktop nirvana i.e. a clutter free desktop. Thus I was able to go from this …

to this (for my home pc) …

and this (for my work pc) …

Using Kinkless 5 steps as my baseline, I then took my little project 1 step further and applied some very basic Getting Things Done(GTD) concepts to attain the final product as displayed above. Just by having my 4 folders
- Inbox - for any new/incoming stuff
- Outbox - for those things that I can settle quickly to get them done and over with
- D.Central - for anything else i.e. some application icons, task list, …, etc
- No Mercy Deletes - for anything I must get ride by the end of each week, the name implies it all - no mercy!
The simple 4 folder GDT concept I then married to a gem of a software called ObjectDock which enabled me to organize my shortcuts, programs and running tasks into a very attractive and a-la-Mac style fun animated dock.

Thus I have achieved my goal of Desktop Nivana and the final product currently provides me with:
- A minimalistic icons approach with generous desktop space for great wallpapers
- A GTD layout that keeps things organized - kiss the clutter goodbye, forever
- A Fancy & Fun dock for my most used softwares
