The one in which you move files with Alfred

My Mac’s desktop often serves as a “gathering” place. Files that I download, documents I’m currently working on stay on top so as to refresh my mind and be visually accessible. But when a task is done and I no longer need to keep files there as reminders, I move them away inside parent folders (still accessible with a few keyboard hits with the lovely help of Alfred :).

Here’s a neat little process that I use to painlessly move files without having to go through multiple folder structure.

1. Select a file on my desktop/in Finder
2. Press alt-cmd-\ to bring up list of result actions within Alfred for this specific file
3. type “m” and select “move to”
4. start typing the name of the folder I’d like to move a file into
5. press return

And it’s gone! :)
