Teach you how to avoid bad computer habits

The emergence of computers has completely changed our lives. Computers have added color to our lives and brought us a lot of convenience. However, the emergence of computers will also make us develop some bad habits. If we do not deal with these bad habits, it will bring us a lot of harm. Therefore, we must learn how to avoid some bad habits when using computers.

We need to use computers scientifically, but we often develop bad habits in using computers without knowing it. Because no one reminds us, we don’t know that these habits are bad habits.

1. QQ, MSN, Gtalk, all of them are indispensable.

Due to the uncontrollability of chat objects and chat content, the use of instant messaging software is the culprit for reducing work efficiency. A survey shows that using instant messaging software will reduce work efficiency by 20%.

Solution: Leave them alone for a while and try to focus on the task at hand.

2. "Always want to see a little more" - forget the purpose of going online.

I wanted to look up work information, but ended up finding a new movie on the web; then I clicked on it and saw at the bottom of the page that my favorite star was having a scandal with someone... As I kept clicking, I forgot what I was going to do online.

Countermeasure: Never put work and entertainment together. Work hard so that you can enjoy entertainment to your heart's content. Control your temptation to the novelties of the Internet.

3. Do not wipe the computer screen and mouse for a long time.

The computer screen is covered with a thick layer of dust. I have to strain my eyes every time to guess what the words are beneath the stains on the screen. It is very difficult to click the mouse, and its response is as slow as that of an eighty-year-old man. These all indirectly affect work efficiency.

Countermeasure: Keep a clean computer desktop, including not placing too many icons on the desktop. The mouse must be easy to use, otherwise your hands will be tired.

4. The computer system is not cleaned up for a long time.

The defensive power of a firewall is limited. The consequence of not cleaning up the computer system for a long time is that the memory is occupied by some hidden junk programs, which directly affects the computer's running speed. If the computer runs slowly, work efficiency will be reduced.

Countermeasure: Clean up system junk immediately. You can use some system junk cleaning software to help. For example: clean up system junk files with one click

5. Not tidying up the desk and documents for a long time.

The consequence of a cluttered desk and cluttered files is that you can’t find what you want when you need it. In the past, a research company conducted a special survey on employees of 200 large companies in the United States and found that employees waste 6 weeks every year looking for misplaced items.

Countermeasure: Develop a good habit of putting things back in their place, and start organizing the files on your desktop now!

6. Not organizing emails and address books for a long time.

I wanted to send an email to a client, but I couldn't remember the email address, so I searched through my email inbox, only to find that my inbox was already filled with spam. It became difficult to search for anything. Going back to look through the piles of business cards again is falling into bad habit number 5.

Countermeasure: Spend some time to categorize emails and set up email filtering functions.

7. Not saving files at the right time.

Although computer performance is getting higher and higher and computer freezes are becoming less and less common, it is inevitable that the computer will shut down or freeze due to accidentally unplugging the computer or improperly operating the program. If you do not save the file in time, the file will most likely be lost and all your previous efforts will be wasted.

Countermeasure: Save it at the critical moment to avoid regret later.

8. "If you don't sharpen the knife, you will delay chopping wood."

Not making adequate plans and preparations before starting work. After taking action, we realize that either the tools are not fully prepared, so we have to stop working and look for documents and information; or we realize halfway through the work that we have deviated from the planned direction, so we have to start over again and all our previous efforts are wasted.

Countermeasure: It’s still a matter of habit!

9. The dream computer has “three heads and six arms”.

At the same time, a web page cannot be opened and a program is waiting. In order to save time, you have to open other web pages. As a result, with more than a dozen windows open at the same time, the computer became "old and feeble" and motionless. Nothing can be done.

Countermeasure: When doing important things, only do one thing, otherwise too many programs will distract you. I understand your mentality. PCs already have dual-cores, it would be a waste not to squeeze out all the power! This is a bad mentality.

10. Not making full use of waiting time.

When I open a software, the computer takes a long time to respond, so I sit by the computer and wait; when I open a web page, it takes a long time to display, so I open a new web page and wait again; when I want to print a document, I find that there are many documents queued in the printer, so I have to continue waiting... In a day's work, the time spent waiting on the computer alone is considerable. If I don't make full use of these waiting intervals, then my working hours will have to be extended.

Solution: Waiting won’t solve the problem because the program is stuck there, so check it yourself.

11. “Be ashamed to ask questions of those who are inferior to you.”

These days, computers are experiencing increasingly bizarre symptoms. Not everyone is a computer whiz. As someone in IT, it seems that asking others for advice would make me appear unprofessional. So I searched online for a solution. As a result, I struggled hard in the vast ocean of spam messages and spent a lot of time to resolve the problem, wasting precious work time. If you ask someone around you, the problem may be solved in a few seconds.

Countermeasure: I am often asked this question, and I find that my colleagues are too good at asking questions. Because they are not from IT, they ask me when they encounter problems. This is also "tiring".

12. Excessive worship of technology.

It is easy for IT people to fall into the worship of technology. If new software or new system is released, IT people will definitely be the first to try it. Regardless of whether your computer can support Vista, you must install it. The computer couldn't handle the load and kept going on strike. Work will also be delayed.

In the above, we introduced that the emergence of computers has brought us many benefits. Computers have added color to our lives and improved our quality of life. However, we often develop bad habits when using computers, and we may not even know about these bad habits. The above article introduces in detail how to avoid bad habits when using computers.
