In other words, your desktop has to be relatively clear for you to notice when new files pop up.ĭrop a file onto a folder on your desktop named “Defer” and Hazel recognizes it, bringing up a user input dialog like this:Īfter you choose, Hazel sorts the file into a folder based on the date (“This Weekend” is for the next Saturday, “Next Week” is for the next Monday, “In a Month” is in 30 days, and “Someday” is in 3 months): The only prerequisite, I suppose, is that you use your desktop like I do – as a place for relevant files for today’s work, not as a dump for all your files. This is accomplished really well in to-do applications like Things, and in the Mailbox app for emails, but I wanted to create a similar system for physical files. One of the things I’ve embraced about GTD is the idea of the tickler file system.
