How do you feel when you open up your computer desktop? Do you feel overwhelmed and stressed? Or do you feel productive, at ease, and ready to take on the day? Having an aesthetic desktop organizer wallpaper might not have been at the top of your teacher’s to-do list. But trust me, it will make such a difference in saving you time, increasing your productivity, and honestly just putting a smile on your face!
First off, you might be wondering, what is a desktop organizer? A desktop organizer wallpaper is an image that you set as your desktop’s background that helps you organize all your computer’s folders and icons.
Most desktop organizer wallpapers will have boxes and titles on them. They will help you organize your desktop and provide a designated space for you to put your folders and icons. For example, you can have a section for personal, school, to-do, to-file, and clip art items. This prevents you from having a cluttered and overwhelming desktop full of folders and icons. And you probably don’t even need or use them on a regular basis!
If you want ready-made aesthetic desktop organizer wallpaper made for you, I have plenty of options in my TpT store that you can check out HERE! There are trendy options, holiday options, and fun seasonal options too. I am always open to suggestions too! So feel free to let me know in the comments the themes and designs you’d like to see.
So let’s dive in and learn how desktop organizer wallpapers can make a difference for you in your teaching and personal life! In this post, you’ll learn about five ways a desktop organizer can help simplify your life and help you in your teaching!
1. SAVE TIME
As a teacher, you have so much to do during the day and there never seems to be enough time in the day to get everything done. Having a desktop organizer will help you save time by having all your most frequently used folders and icons right when you open up your desktop.
You do not have to spend time searching for that one folder that has all your morning meetings slides or that one folder that has all your reading assessments. Everything is quickly accessible within a click of a button. In the classroom, I loved how I could quickly open up a folder the moment I needed it and not waste time trying to find where it is on my computer.
2. BE MORE ORGANIZED
Just like you organize your classroom cabinets, drawers, and supplies, you should also organize your computer.
As a teacher, you have so many documents, files, and downloads on your computer from everyday teaching. If you’re not organized, your desktop can easily become a dumping ground of files and folders. This creates a chaotic and overwhelming feeling.
Having a desktop organizer wallpaper will definitely help you be more organized with all your digital resources and items. A couple of times a year, I like to go through all my documents, downloads, pictures, etc. I like to see what I can delete and remove from my computer. This helps me declutter and determine what am I still using with my students and what needs to be on my desktop for quick access.
3. CREATE AN AESTHETICALLY PLEASING LOOK
Sometimes I cringe every time I look at my husband’s desktop which is filled with hundreds of folders and icons (sorry Honey!). I feel like when I look at a desktop that is cluttered, overfilled, and not attractive, it does not make me feel productive or even happy.
When I use a desktop organizer that neatly and beautifully displays my desktop icons and folders, I instantly feel more productive, happy, and ready to take on the day and tackle my goals.
Just like a cluttered classroom makes you feel unproductive, a cluttered desktop can do the same. I recommend having a clean, simple, and aesthetic desktop organizer wallpaper to use on your computer.
4. INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY
When you have a system to organize your computer files and folders, you will automatically save time, therefore becoming more productive during the day. A desktop organizer will allow you to quickly access what you need. This will allow you to spend more time on a lesson, more time prepping that activity, and less time wasted.
And if you create your own teaching resources or are a TpT author, you definitely will benefit from having a desktop organizer. It will allow you to organize and separate your school content from your business content.
5. SMILE MORE
Okay, so last on the list might sound funny, but it’s so true! I promise every time you open up and turn on your computer, you will smile and appreciate the look and feel of your desktop organizer. Just read what one customer said about her new holiday desktop organizers: “Super cute desktop wallpapers that made me smile when I opened my computer!”
I hope this post helped you better understand what a desktop organizer is and how it can help you in the classroom while teaching. And even when you are at home while working on your lesson, activities, or products if you have a TpT store.
