3 Time Saving Efficiencies Every Hard Worker Needs To Know To Be 25% More Productive at Work & Home

July 17, 20241 min read

This is a friendly reminder and specific public service announcement to all the hard working individuals out there: Your computer needs a break every once in a while to stay running at its optimum performance.

You deserve a break as well so go for a walk, do a brain dump on a piece of paper to free your mind of all those nagging thoughts and loose ends, or text or call a friend and set a date for coffee or that thing you keep putting off. Today’s the day to take a break from your screen to get more done in less time the next time you sit down. You will feel more focused and your computer will be faster after the updates are installed with a fresh restart.

1) Drop your IT a note to install the latest updates

2) Slowly step away from the screen, you can do this!

3) Be sure to lock* your login / sign-in / account before you do (for security) or you might find yourself bringing tacos in for the entire office the next day!

*Windows: Windows key + L

Mac: Control + Command + Q

Linux: CTRL + ALT + L (and if you already knew this, we are always hiring at ZATIS)
