Efficient Desktop Background (Freebie!)

I work almost solely on my computer. ONE computer to be specific. So before I know it, my desktop transforms into my college dorm floor--cluttered & chaotic. I don't know how many times I've told myself that I will not just drag, drop, and forget about the many pictures I find online and I will not just save all of my files to my desktop. 

But then a few days go by and my desktop is crazy cluttered and I become very lazy about organizing it. 

So, today I made myself get my stuff together and design a desktop background that would help keep me a bit more organized. 

I wanted it to be simple because I get distracted pretty easily. I also wanted it to have color but more on the subdued side. For inspiration I pulled up my Pinterest (okay, who am I trying to fool...Pinterest was already up) and the first picture I saw I just fell in love with.

This picture's colors were just what I wanted and meshed well with the handwritten feel I love.

So, I made four color blocks and labeled them as Work, Play, Life, and Random. Because, really, that's what I have going on!

Then I took my crazy desktop and put each file in their respective blocks!

It may not look like a lot but it does help me! If you want to use this background, just click on the picture below and save it to your computer! Then make it your desktop!

Enjoy!

About Me

I realized I hadn't exactly made a post about me and what it is I do and what it is I want to accomplish with this blog. My About  covers a tiny portion of that but I decided to use this post to expand a bit.

So here we go!

My name is Tyler and I'm in my 20s. 

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Design, Technology & Industry with a Creative Writing minor.

I was a part of my university newspaper for four years. I was News Editor, Editor in Chief and copy editor through those years. 

After college I started Social Spaz and started to freelance as a social media consultant & manager to help businesses reach a larger online audience. 

Now I work with several businesses as their social media consultant & manager. I also freelance as a graphic designer, web designer and professional blogger.

I started Almost There because I have an immense love for everything creative. DIY projects, home décor, graphic & interior design, typography, unique fashion and Pinterest-worthy pursuits are my passions! (I also have an insane amount of books!) I wanted a place to not only share these interests but also catalogue my growth as a creative!

Currently I live in a tiny apartment with Dude & my very dog-like cat Milo. Even though I don't have my dream space, I love to dream big but also come up with creative, inexpensive projects to make what I have something I love.

I plan to keep blogging with Almost There and hope that I inspire other creatives, whether or not they are living their dreams or still working to reach them!

 (By the way, Milo is a blue tabby. So that's pretty cool, no?)
