To work efficiently and with a minimum of stress your computer needs to be well organised. Here's a few simple guidelines that I follow and will show you how to practice.
- Don't clutter your desktop with unnecessary folders and shortcuts. Learn how to create/delete shortcuts
- Structure your storage areas logically, grouping files either by type, business/personal use or application.
- Become adept at using File Explorer
- Place frequently used links on your task bar
- Configure the start menu to help you find programs and recently opened files
- Don't be lazy, put files you create in the right location
Allow about 2 hours.
