Let’s face it: we’ve all been there.

Well, this video is here to help with simple keyboard shortcuts and multiple desktops that will make you a productivity ninja.

Introducing the ALT+TAB and WIN+TAB keys

  • ALT+TAB: This trusty duo lets you switch between open applications with ease. Just hold down ALT and tap TAB to cycle through your active windows. Keep hitting TAB until you land on the app you want, then release both keys. Boom, you’re there!
