We all do what we can to be more productive. Whether that’s clever things like window snapping or using multiple monitors, having organised “screen estate” can really help with multitasking and having crucial information at your fingertips.
But sometimes, those fingertips can get the better of us. Ever looked across your monitor(s) and been unable to see your pointer? Despite shaking the mouse furiously? It happens to all of us, but thankfully, there’s a quick fix for Windows users, try the following…
Find your mouse pointer in Windows
- Click Start button
- type Mouse
- click Mouse Settings
- Choose Additional mouse settings
- Select Pointer Options
- Check the box for Show location of pointer when I press the Ctrl key
- Click OK
Take back Ctrl
Now, simply press the Ctrl key on your keyboard, and a large, bold ring will hone in on your cursor, wherever it is on your screen. Then, slap yourself on the forehead and say something under your breath like, “There it is!”
Quick tips like these are great. They may take a little while to set up, but once in place, they can quickly wash those moments of momentary frustration clean out of your day.
