dual monitors improve productivity

Whether you’re working from home or in the office, here are 4 ways to improve your work productivity with technology.

  1. Use a bigger screen
    • – Dual monitors are a game-changer. Instead of flipping through the plethora of tabs you have open, an extra monitor will help you see your work in a clearer view.  There are also many new gadgets that allow you to connect a portable monitor to your laptop for productive work on the go.
  2. Use shortcut keys
      • – Knowing general short-cut keys is a small improvement that can increase productivity greatly. Saves you from right-clicking and searching for the option you need.
      • – Here are some common shortcut keys from Microsoft:
          • Copy: Ctrl + C
          • Cut: Ctrl + X
          • Paste: Ctrl + V
          • Maximize Window: F11 or Windows logo key  + Up arrow
          • Open Task View: Windows logo key  + Tab
          • Display and hide the desktop: Windows logo key  + D
          • Switch between open apps: Alt Tab
          • Open the Quick Link menu: Windows logo key  + X
          • Lock your PC: Windows logo key  + L
  3. Use an up-to-date computer
      • – Is your computer really slow? Can you run new software on your computer? Is your computer out of space? Does it make any weird sounds?
      • – If you answered yes to any of the questions above, it may be time to upgrade your computer.
  4. Use a faster internet connection
    • – Connecting directly with an Ethernet cable to your router, or switching to broadband from dial-up will improve speed tremendously. You may be thinking, “who still uses dial-up?” Over a quarter of a million Americans still have dial-up internet, according to a study done in 2021.
    • – Additionally, a Wi-Fi extender may improve your home’s range.
