Tip: when using Hazel to automatically manage or sort your files, make sure to place your most specific rules first in the list.
For example, I’m monitoring my Downloads folder with Hazel using three rules: “label orange if older than one week”, “label red if older than 10 days”, and “move to Trash if older than two weeks”. The “move to Trash” rule needs to come first, followed by “label red”, and finally “label orange”. Otherwise, every file older than a week triggers “label orange” and Hazel never reaches “label red” or “move to Trash”.
