Your computer is one of your most powerful tools—when used intentionally. Here are a few ways to make the most of it:
1. Declutter Your Desktop
A clean desktop helps you focus. Remove unused icons, organize folders, and use a minimal wallpaper to reduce distractions.
2. Use Productivity Software
Apps like Notion, Microsoft OneNote, or Todoist can help you plan, organize, and track your work efficiently.
3. Take Advantage of Keyboard Shortcuts
Mastering shortcuts can save you hours. For example:
Ctrl + C/Ctrl + Vfor copy and pasteAlt + Tabto switch between windowsCtrl + Fto quickly search a page or document
4. Set Up a Comfortable Workspace
Ergonomics matter. Use a comfortable chair, proper desk height, and an external monitor if needed to reduce eye and neck strain.
5. Schedule Downtime
Use tools like Focus Keeper or Stretchly to remind you to take breaks—your brain will thank you.
