A Kinkless Desktop
Ethan Schoonover is the creator of Kinkless GTD, the series of AppleScripts for OmniOutliner that was one of the first serious GTD implementations on the Mac. He has since contributed to the development of the forthcoming OmniFocus. Ethan's productivity tips go beyind kGTD, however, and he has a five-part series of articles and screencasts called Kinkless Desktop, which explain his methods for keeping your Desktop orderly and productive. He has a number of nice tips including aesthetic customization and using TUAW favorite Hazel for automated filing. Check out the series at Kinkless.com.[via MacDevCenter]

I had started watching this series about a week ago, and I've been happy with the results so far. I haven't used the Hazel part of it for automatically labeling and sorting yet, but I feel thats going to be an imminent purchase.
If you're the kind of person who dumps all their files onto their desktop or into their Docs folder, this is worth at least a read, but the videos are worth watching to see how easy this process is.
I recently advised a family member how to apply this process in his email inbox...2500 messages, most of which were glanced at and then kept. I told him to do the 'move everything to a folder and mark to delete in a week' concept that is shown in the first screencast here.
