I usually save things to my desktop as a temporary place with intention of deleting the files later. It's become quite a mess recently which made me think of this topic. Do you have this same habit or do you usually keep your desktop clear?
 
If I have to download a temporary file (as in quickly look and delete within 5-10 mins), then I will add it to my desktop. Otherwise, it's always clear except for my recycle bin.
 
I obviously, I have a lot to learn from all of you! That's a great rule @Ash, only save to my desktop if I plan to delete it within 5-10minutes, otherwise save it to the appropriate folder for safekeeping.
 
My gaming desktop is clean with shortcuts to software that I use in a fast moment. End of the day I'm the only person that sees it :)

My husband is an IT guy and told me to keep as little on my desktop as possible because it speeds up start up when I boot my computer. Of course, I listened to him when I got my new computer years ago but now it's cluttered again. Even though I don't use everything on my desktop, I can't convince myself to remove things!
 
Yep, I might save something to the desktop quickly for convenience but it won't find it's home there. Anything I download can typically fit in one of my 4 storage partitions (music, tv, video games, misc) and if I still feel like it doesn't fit there then it can just sit in my home folder.
 
i download art pictures a lot and that goes to my desktop, whenever it's not clean.. it's because of the pics that i didn't classify yet :p

i'm not an illustrator, i use some pictures to get inspired to write stuff for my book.

It can, however, it's still super-fast loading speeds for me with an M.2 drive and never had that problem

I try to keep only essential reading files and the folders on the desktop. Now making it more minimalistic from now on with less content soon would be there now that I feel like clutter in there.
 
I have the exact same habit.. There's tonnes of stuff on the desktop of both my PC and my laptop.

I keep meaning to go through it and tidy it up, but haven't found the motivation to do so yet.. ? Like everything else, I'm paranoid that if I move something I won't be able to find it, and that if I get rid of something I'm going to wish I hadn't further down the line!

I can't even call it an organised mess though, because it isn't..
