Decluttering Downloads will take place in early May, pending participant availability
This workshop will explore your Mac’s Downloads folder and what you accumulate there:
- Learn how to find out how much space things use
- Get tips and insights about stuff that you might not need to keep
- Learn best practices when downloading items
- Learn quick ways to access and triage downloads
- Explore the types of things that tend to accumulate in Downloads and why
Prerequisites
- My demonstration will be on a Mac running macOS 15. For a similar enough experience, yours should be on at least macOS 13. To find your version, look in > About This Mac.
- Ensure Zoom is up to date on your Mac: Open Zoom, click the Zoom application menu, Check for Updates, and install whatever is offered.
- Be prepared to join a Zoom meeting and share your screen. You will receive a Zoom link after you register. Ensure Zoom is already permitted share your screen (Screen Recording) and to allow screen control (Accessibility). I also recommend setting Zoom to Maintain current size when screen sharing. Review my Zoom page for details.
- Be familiar with:
- Mac interface basics, such as the menu bar, Dock, and Finder, as well as the Option key
- The content Application Switcher and Take Control of Windows regarding basic window management, including how to switch between windows or applications
Scheduling & Registration
Each TEACH workshop is a 75-minute group session on Zoom. Registration costs $45 per person per class. Workshops will be recorded. Any sensitive information displayed in recordings will be blurred or removed.
When I select a time, registration will open for those preregistered. A few days later, if there are still slots available, I’ll post the registration link here for anyone else who wants to join.
Before your first class, I’ll also require you to sign this confidentiality agreement.
