This challenge is quick but makes a big impact on your computer.

Every day we download dozens of files and they tend to stack up in the downloads folder where they stagnate.

Set an alarm for 5 minutes and work through as many files as you can. Here are the steps I take:

1. If I recognize the file I will rename it and move it to a folder.
2. If I don’t need the file it goes straight to trash.
3. Files I don’t recognize get opened, renamed and then moved.

Rinse and repeat until the 5 minutes is up.
