Your Office Work Space

I feel like the key to successful work is being happy while at work. A person cannot be content sitting in a bland cubicle or office. So I suggest decorating your cubicle or office with bright colors, pretty pictures, beautiful plants, etc.

When you are working full-time, you spend majority of your time at work in an office. Literally forty hours of your life every week is spent sitting behind a desk looking at computer, so why not enjoy where you are at? By making your work space feel more homey and comfortable, you'll feel better while working.

For instance, at my desk, I have birthday cards taped up on a board, small succulents by my computer, and pictures of my friends and family in decorative frames on the corner of my desk. By having these objects on and around my desk, I feel more relaxed while doing my work. It makes it seem like I am working from my own home and that helps me get through the work day.

Keyboard Shortcuts

To help with the day to day work in an office, using keyboard shortcuts is essential.

Cut  - Ctrl+X

Copy  - Ctrl+C

Paste - Ctrl+V

Send Email – Ctrl+Enter

Alt+F4 – close window

Alt+Tab – switch between windows

Using these shortcuts will expedite business!  

Using PrtScn (Screen Capture)

Print Screen is a very valuable tool. It can be used to show someone an image on your computer screen even if that person is not there. Just attach the saved image to an e-mail and send it to them.  Also, the image can be saved and then you can print it out.

The process is very simple.

Press the button on your keyboard that says "PrtScn". On most keyboards, it should be located at the top-right corner along with two other keys, ScrLk and Pause. After you've pressed the PrtScn key, the image is copied to your Clipboard.

Next, you must pull up your Paint program and paste the
image into that program. From there you will be able to edit and save the image

.

 After saving the image, you can e-mail it or print it off.
