Sharing this tip here as a great way to keep your dock organised, I use it to separate some apps out for visibility on my Mac. 

Using this process, you can create a blank space on your dock that you drag around to make 'zones' on your Dock. 

1. Open a terminal on your Mac (CMD+SPACE then type 'terminal')
2. Paste the following text into the terminal window and press ENTER

```
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{"tile-type"="spacer-tile";}'; killall Dock
```

When you hit enter, your dock will close and then restart with a blank that you can move around to help organise your icons/apps.
