Here's a shortcut you might not have thought of...
You may already know that you can create desktop shortcuts for your frequently used programs... doing this prevents you from having to scan an entire list to find the one you're looking for.
BUT did you realize that you can do this with FILES or DOCUMENTS, too?
For example, I have a particular Word document that I use during every client intake interview. Instead of having to dig for it in my files when I need it, I've created a shortcut.
For PC users, it's a simple process. Here's how:
1. Open the folder where the file for your document is stored.
2. Right click on the filename you want on your desktop.
3. From the menu that pops-up, choose "Send to:"
4. From the secondary pop-up menu, choose "Desktop"
That's it! The actual document maintains its storage spot in your folder. And the shortcut can be easily removed once you no longer need to access it as frequently. It's a simple little "shortcut" that will save you a few seconds each time you sit down to work.
Why this matters...
I know today's Quick Tip is a simple little thing, but people spend HOURS every week repeating common actions and hunting for lost items. Taking a few seconds now to set up shortcuts for the files you KNOW you're going to be using often is a very little thing that adds up over time.
