Do a Google search on how to get your best body and you’ll be inundated with pages of training tips. For those who want to take that same, proactive approach to creating your best relationship, I have your “exercise regimen” below. 1. Do the things you did the first year you were dating. As the months and years roll on, we tend to slink into our proverbial sweatpants and get lazy in our relationship. We lose our patience, gentleness, thoughtfulness, understanding and the general effort we once made toward our mate. Think back to the first year of your relationship and write down all the things you used to do for your partner. Now start doing them again. 2. Ask for what you want. Over time, we assume that our partner knows us so well that we don’t need to ask for what we want. What happens when we make this assumption? Expectations are set and just as quickly, they get deflated. Those unmet expectations can leave us questioning the viability of our partnership...
No matter how important or easy the shortcuts are, we often forget or ignore some of them due to reasons like very little use or awkward placement on the keyboard. Here are some of those forgotten or most ignored Windows shortcuts.
1. Ctrl + Y
Most of you may know that “Ctrl + Z” is used to undo the immediate previous action performed by the user. This is really helpful at times, but do you actually know that there is a shortcut called “Ctrl + Y” which will redo anything that is undone? This will be a life saver at times, so don’t ever forget this shortcut.
2. Win + Pause/Break
You can easily open the System details window in your Windows machine directly from the Control Panel. In Windows 8, it is even easier: just press “Win + X” and select the option “System.” But to make it even easier, just press “Win + Pause/Break” on your keyboard and the System details window will pop-up.
3. Alt + Print Screen
The Print Screen (Prt Scr) key on your keyboard is often used to take snapshots of the current screen. But if you want to quickly take a screenshot of just the active window, then press “Alt + Print Screen.” This eliminates any need for editing the screenshot to just the active window.
4. Win + E
Windows Explorer is one of the most used programs on almost any Windows machine. Generally, you can either open Windows Explorer right from the start menu, from the taskbar or by double clicking on the “My Computer” icon on your desktop. But the quickest way to open Windows Explorer is by pressing “Win + E” on your keyboard. This is a handy little shortcut that is ignored by most of us.
5. Ctrl + Shift + N
The most common way to create a new folder in Windows Explorer is to right-click and select the option “New > Folder.” An easier way is to press “Ctrl + Shift +N,” and you will have your new folder waiting to be renamed. This shortcut is better than stretching out your hand for the mouse.
6. Win + Right Arrow + Enter
There are quite a few ways to shutdown a Windows PC, and one of them is to press the “Win” button, then the “Right Arrow” and then the “Enter” button. This action will execute the first option in the Shutdown button.
Of course, this shortcut may not work on Windows 8 or 8.1 but may, hopefully, work on Windows 10. Alternatively, you can use “Alt + F4.”
7. Win + Arrow Keys
If you have a large computer screen, then why not snap your active programs to either side of the screen so that you don’t have to move back and forth between windows? Generally you can use your mouse to snap windows, but the keyboard shortcut “Win + Arrow Keys” will work as well. Depending on the arrow key, the windows will snap to the respective side.
8. Win + Tab
“Alt + Tab” is used to quickly switch between programs or windows. If you want a pretty version of the same functionality, press “Win + Tab” on your keyboard.
1. Ctrl + Y
Most of you may know that “Ctrl + Z” is used to undo the immediate previous action performed by the user.
