Hi,
This post will reveal how to be more efficient by using keyboard shortcuts, buttons and windows other shortcuts. This is what I personally use and how I configured my computer so I can be more efficient (and more fun since it’s less annoying).
This not only helps me when I’m doing SEO but in everything else I do in an Internet Business. I mean it’s a business using a computer – maybe it’s worth your time knowing how to actually use the computer more efficiently to save time.
List of keyboard shortcuts I use (Test them out to see which ones you might find useful):
Windows logo key ==> Open or close the Start menu
Windows logo key + D ==> Display the desktop
Windows logo key + M ==> Minimize all windows
Windows logo key + R ==> Open the Run dialog box
Windows logo key + a number ==> If you have programs on quick launch if for example you press 1 along with windows logo key the first shortcut in quick launch opens – if you press 2 the second one, etc.
Keyboard buttons
Your keyboard may be different so you may have different buttons but I have buttons that when I press them I can open calculator, windows mail, web browser, windows media player, play pause or stop a video and a lot more.
So click these buttons on your keyboard to explore and see if anything is good. For example I never go to C: Program files, or waste 20 seconds to open calculator. Just press one button.
Computer Shortucts
This one depends on which version of windows you have, if you have mac it’s completely different. But this is what I do that you can replicate maybe:
==> Use quick launch so with a click you can open the most frequently used programs. Note: Use different icons as well. So if you place two folders on quick launch they will both have the same icon and it’s not that easy to tell which one is which. Right click on one folder, Select Properties, click on Change Icon.
==> Windows messenger or antiviruses by default open up when you turn on your computer. However you can open up almost any other program as well. Don’t open all programs because that can make your computer start slow then.
==> On desktop I usually put text files with notes.
==> Vista users you can find tons of different gadgets from the Internet to put on the sidebar. The one I use is called QuickLaunch – which just like the Windows Quicklaunch it allows me to open up folders, programs, etc with a click.
I think these tips should be helpful to save you some time. It’s also less frustration to open ftp software – you can do it with a click – no need to make a research on your computer for it.
Thanks
