Here is one of my favorite computer tips and probably the easiest. Do you switch programs a lot? I do. I’m often trying to read my research notes and write an article at the same time, forcing me to switch between two windows a lot.
But switching between two windows takes a long time with the mouse. You need to take one hand off the keyboard, grab the mouse, scroll over to the next window, click, and put your hand back on the keyboard. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could switch windows without taking your hand off the keyboard? You can.
To switch windows, press Alt-Tab. The windows are lined up in the order of which you last used them, so pressing Alt-Tab will take you to the last window you used. Pressing Alt-Tab-Tab (two tabs) will take you to the window you used before that.
If you master Alt-Tab, you’ll be a master multi-tasker.
