Just a quick note for zsh users: You can simply write
du -sh *(/)Explanation: "*(/)" is like "*" but expands only directories. Similarly, "*(.)" expands ony plain files (i.e. doesn't include directories). There are many more qualifiers supported by zsh; a closer look at the manual page is well worth it.

du -sh */Tiny problem with this one... it doesn't handle directories with whitespaces in their name. More of an issue for Cygwin users than anything else, but just thought it was worth a mention.
