Leave that Laptop Behind: Taking handwritten notes at a meeting can help you remember the information better. Writing down what you’re hearing makes you review it while looking at the page, and reinforces the information your brain is processing.

Change or add screens: If you are adding a monitor or need to change the display for a presentation but its not coming up press “Windows” plus “P” which gives you the options “PC Only”, “Duplicate” “Extend”, “External Only” or add wireless displays.
