How Do You De-Clutter Your Desktop?

I am a computer desktop pack-rat. No matter how often I make a concerted effort to de-clutter my desktop, it seems in just a short time I have stuff all over the screen again. I can’t tell you how many times this year I have swept the desktop clean, only to have it get cluttered again.

TheAppleBlog had a great post yesterday describing five things you can do to make a minimalist Mac desktop. There are some great tips in there that I must try, but I know in a short time I’ll have junk all over the desktop again. Sigh.

How about you? Is your desktop a nice, clean minimalist one? I use both Mac and Windows, so I’m open to any suggestions you can offer to help me de-clutter. Give me your best shot.

Don’t be impressed with my (sort of) clean desktop above. You can’t see the second screen with all the stuff “swept” over there.
