Use multiple desktops

If you’re on a Mac, and using OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or later, you’ve already got multiple desktops (or Spaces, as Apple would have you say) baked into your OS. No such luck for Windows users, though Dexpot (free, dexpot.de) is probably the best virtual desktop app we’ve seen. We get confused with more than three, but there’s no doubt that switching desktops is much easier (and quicker) than continuously minimising and maximising windows.

    Voice dictation in the comfort of my own home is most definitely faster the typing on my phone!

    Trust me on the unity remote. It WON'T save you time. It's a buggy monster. Crashes regularly, disconnects from blue tooth regularly which involves turning off Bluetooth on iOS then restarting the base unit. Many commands don't work properly. It's the worst bit of kit I've ever owned.
