    Good god. Putting stuff in the desktop is a big yuck. Your desktop probably looks like your room.

      The desktop is like the inbox of files, inbox-zero it and it’s a tidy place to keep things in focus until they’re sorted and filed away or deleted.

      If a cluttered desktop is a sign of a cluttered mind, what does an empty one signify?

        Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor’s cup full, and then kept on pouring.

        The visitor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself, “it is overfull, no more will go in!”.

        “Like this cup,” Nan-in said, “your desktop is full of documents and shortcuts. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?”
