I don't know about you, but I spend a lot of time on my computer -- and anything I can do to speed up my productivity, well, as Martha would say, "It's a good thing." I recently discovered two new tricks to use when surfing or working on my pc and they have both saved me time, (albeit small - but hey, every little bit helps) so I thought I'd share them with you!

Surfing shortcut

Did you know that you do not need to type in www or the .com when entering a website's URL. In the address section at the top of your web browser just enter the name of the website then hold down the CTRL key and press enter.


Open a new page without losing your place

To open a new page in your web browser without closing your current page, hold the Ctrl key and press N. (This is especially helpful when you have several screens open and need to google something without backtracking or minimizing your open windows so you can open another.)

Okay, now try them...you know you want to!

As an ADDED BONUS!!! Did you know that if your dishwasher has stains inside, you can put some Tang where the detergent goes and the inside of your dishwasher will be as good as new? Kinda scary, huh? Wonder what it does to OUR insides? Hmm....
