9 Ways to Save Time When Working on Your Computer in ‘09
I hate to waste time on anything…I am always looking for short cuts and tricks…so here are some that I use most often that I thought I would share with you! (These are for PC users only)
- I hate scrolling to the top or bottom of pages to find the navigation links that I need…so I use the END and HOME keys on my keyboard instead.
- F5 will refresh your screen or browser window.
- F6 will put your cursor in the address bar in IE or Firefox.
- Do you use your right click on your mouse for Copy, Cut and Paste functions? Sometimes it’s easier and faster to use CTRL + C (copy), CTRL + X (cut) and CTRL + V (paste) instead! (and when working in certain canned real estate sites you run into trouble with pop up blockers, etc…and when your right click won’t work, the CTRL + short cuts usually will!
- Instead of highlighting text and going to the edit menus to make it BOLD or ITALICS, simply use CTRL + B (bold) or CTRL + I (Italic).
- To open your START menu just use CTRL + ESC.
- ALT + TAB to switch between open programs.
- ALT + F4 closes an open window.
- And my FAVORITE that I use all the time…because I always seem to mess something up…is the UNDO shortcut…CTRL + Z (Z - as in your last resort! LOL).
I hope these work for you as well as they do for me - I use them all the time! Time is precious, time is money…so save where you can!




When you really have to be productive on a computer, you use keyboard shortcuts. I admit to cringing when watching someone use a computer and they use NO keyboard shortcuts - maybe I’ve been around too long…
I completely agree, Matthew! Thanks for taking the time to comment~
I always use the (CTRL + Z ), It has saved me so much time when I am writing or editing. Everyone should know how to use these tips.
