💡 Tip #1: Master These 5 Keyboard Shortcuts
Forget the mouse—if you want to level up your digital skills, learn to command your machine with just a few keystrokes.
Here are five shortcuts everyone should be using daily:
Shortcut | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Reopens the last closed browser tab |
| Opens your clipboard history (if enabled) |
| Instantly highlights your browser's URL bar |
| Quickly switch between open apps |
| Opens Task Manager directly (Windows) |
Try them now—you’ll wonder how you ever worked without them.
💡 Tip #2: Create a Universal “Snippets” File
Do you ever find yourself typing the same message over and over again?
Save yourself the trouble by creating a universal snippets file—a simple Notepad, Word doc, or Notes app entry where you keep:
Your email signature
Common responses (like “Thanks for reaching out…”)
Favorite links you send often
Zoom call intros or talking points
Even better? Use a tool like Text Blaze (Chrome) or PhraseExpress to assign these snippets to short triggers (like typing “/email” to drop in your full contact block).
