This post isn't in the vein of marketing or promotions, but hey, you can't always eat steak, right?
When I visit prospects and clients and we need to get on the computer to look at something, I'm amazed by how dumbfounded many are when I use the "alt-tab" combination to switch between applications. Some literally stop me in my tracks (seemingly more interested in this than the marketing task at hand) to ask me how I'm switching between programs so fast. So the purpose of this post is to show you how so you can become more efficient...so that you can have more time to invest back into marketing (ha).
A quick definition is that Windows (from version 3.1 on) and Mac OS give you the ability to switch between open applications using the alt-tab keys together (Mac uses command-tab) without having to use the mouse. It's a cool little trick that can save you time. As an aside, to become really efficient on any computer, I suggest you generally learn and use keystrokes as opposed to the mouse...I can do just about anything I need using keystrokes (including editing, saving, typing, emailing, etc). The things I have to use a mouse for include positioning and graphics work.
Anyway, below is a short video on the alt-tab trick from my friends at CompTechTutor. Enjoy-
