Google Chrome Made Easy! Pt. 2

Hey guys,

Today I wanted to continue to share some really easy and extremely useful tips to keep in mind when using Google Chrome. Today I will be focusing navigating through tabs and windows.

Firstly, a useful trick is to use ctrl+tab to cycle through tabs. This cycles through your tabs left to right and allows you to quickly alternate between tabs, allowing for effective multitasking. Alternatively, you can use ctrl+shift+tab to cycle right to left.

Continuing on, a similar effect can be achieved for windows/programs. This can be done through alt+tab (left to right) or alt+shift+tab (right to left), and can greatly improve overall productivity by allowing for even greater multitasking ability.

A final trick is to use alt+home, which will take you to your browsers homepage. If you have your homepage set to a functional and relevant site/tool, such as Google, then this shortcut allows the user to quickly reset their page and improve their productivity.

Hopefully these tips are useful and allow you to improve your productivity greatly.

Oliver

Note-taking Tips

Simply divide your notes into 3 sections.  -           The right column is the general notes area. The notes area is where you keep the most important ideas the teacher covered. Try to summarise this as much as possible. -           The left column is the cues area. This is where you write notes in the margins to help you understand the main ideas. -           The bottom section is the summary . This is where you ...

Google Chrome Tricks

Hey guys, Today I wanted finish up on Google Chrome with some individual tricks that can be very useful. These aren’t really related to one specific topic, but are great tricks to remember. The first trick is using alt+left arrow and alt+right arrow to go backwards and forwards a page respectively. This is extremely useful as it allows you to quickly navigate through pages and maximise your time, especially for research tasks where this is vital. The second trick is the use of ctrl+k or ctrl+e , which allows for you to perform a Google search from any webpage. This is great as you can quickly access new information if you are unsure of something whilst researching, shopping online, or just casually browsing the internet. Using ctrl+k will achieve a similar result by selecting all of what is in the URL bar. The final trick is related to the second one, in that it allows you to quickly search for websites. The use of ctrl+enter will automatically finish the web address for y...

Studying for Exams

It's getting to that time of year where exams are right around the corner and its about time to prep and study for that dreaded test. Using some of the suggestions I explained in a previous post and some new ones, I'll explain the best way to retain and remember information for the big day.  1. Giving yourself enough time We all know how easy it is to procrastinate before every test, but its crucial for exams that you leave yourself with enough time to get prepared while also allowing yourself adequate study time.  There's no point studying the day before and expecting perfect results.   - The earlier the better  - Study time is based very much around personal ability and commitment, each persons studying ability varies Image taken from: http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/DesignWithinReach/PD_1353_MAIN?$tile$ 2. Splitting up your work/Taking enough breaks Studying for most people is not a particularly enjoyabl...
