Publisher's Review
It's simple once you know it, but
Once you start using it, you'll hear people say, "You're a good worker!"


What comes to mind when you hear the words "saving time" and "improving work efficiency"? The common thread is that "saving time" and "improving work efficiency" aren't goals in themselves.
It is a means to achieve work-life balance by increasing free time or to secure time for other things.
You could say it's a skill that creates time.
Does it seem difficult? Does it seem impossible? It's not.
Here are some simple yet powerful secrets that anyone can do.
Learn 45 easy yet effective techniques to achieve work-life balance and become a successful employee!

1.
Basic computer operations that can save time, such as shortcuts and preferences
Do you waste time shutting down unused startup programs and dismissing unwanted notification windows after starting your computer? Do you sometimes lose focus when you're working on a document because you have to use the mouse? With a few minor tweaks to your default settings and learning a few essential shortcuts, you can easily resolve these inconveniences.
Start with small but basic things to create a clean work environment.

2.
A miraculous computer organization method that lets you find the folders and files you want when you need them.
Year 1, year 2, year 3! As your years of service pile up, the more files and folders pile up on your computer, the more your work skills improve.
Even if you don't use it for a long time, you'll suddenly need to use it, and even if it's a document file you use every day, if you try to use it in a hurry, something invisible and magical often happens.
Windows has a variety of devices for us like this.
I can't use it because I don't know.
With Windows' built-in features and effective folder organization methods, you can quickly find the folders and files you need, when you need them.


3.
How to Use Your Web Browser to 10x Your Information Gathering and Management Capabilities
"A string of beads is a treasure" is one of the most commonly used proverbs, and I think it is an excellent proverb to use in this age of information overload.
Anyone who knows how to use the Internet can identify trends and gather a wealth of information.
So, the standard that differentiates a good worker from an average worker will be 'how quickly they can find the information they need and how they manage it.'


4.
How to use Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and email appropriately, not just in simple terms.
When talking about the most used programs by office workers, people talk about Excel and PowerPoint.
It has become such a popular program.
This book does not cover simple usage of such programs.
It contains information on when and how to use it.
Discover a variety of tips to improve your focus and get what you want more efficiently and effectively, including how to create compelling PowerPoint slides, organize Excel data for easy viewing, and use email to get things done faster.

Target audience for this book
● All office workers
● People who feel that computer work is slow and cumbersome
● Those who want to improve their work efficiency
● Those who want to set up their computer environment for optimal work conditions
● Anyone curious about how Googlers work
