Organize Your Workspace
If you’re looking to maximize your efficiency when typing, it’s important to get your workstation organized. Put all the things you need for your current task in the same place. If you’re working on a paper, for example, you should have your computer, notes, and a thesaurus nearby. If you keep everything where it needs to be, you’ll save time by not having to hunt down things.
