Q: Mac is REALLY slow! Ran EtreCheck What is my problem?

Problem description:

Mac is really slow! Mail is really slow! I just get the spinning ball and it takes forever to do ANYTHING!

Here is my EtreCheck report. I use Safari as a search engine, and when it is slow (always it seems) I use Mozella Firefox (not much better). I use Adobe InDesign ALL of the time!

 

Please help. Why is my computer so slow?

EtreCheck version: 2.1.6 (109)
