Okay, I admit that the title looks like some spam advertisement, but it is true. I have seen hundreds and hundreds of people working with their computers, and my God, they were ineffective.

Being effective while writing a paper with Word, running a program, or whatever job you are doing with the computer is crucial. You can save hours of work if you implement these small changes I'm suggesting. The core of the problem is that usually, most people are using the mouse excessively.

Alone, there is no problem with using the mouse, but there is almost always a keyboard command to serve as a substitute. It takes much less time to use these commands, and these seconds add up, trust me. So, enjoy my compilation of keyboard shortcuts! Some of them may seem obvious to you, but remember, this is for everyone, not just you :)
