Cleaning up your Mac with Hazel

Today I learned how to clean up my Mac with Hazel

Hazel is a preference pane-based application that helps you automate organization on your Mac.

Within a few hours of using Hazel, I was able to clean out my 1000+ file Downloads folder, tame my unruly Desktop, get rid of all the trash that accumulated in my home folder, and organize my stashes of client files. I also set up rules for the future that will keep these places neat and orderly.

The next step is to turn my gaze on my photo library to create one master repository.
