Connected Systems

If you or your employees use large or multiple monitors, you are probably wasting time organizing your screen.

Every day, people spend an annoying amount of time dragging, resizing, and overlapping windows just to get their email, web browser, and company chat visible at the same time.

The default Windows snapping feature is okay, but it only splits your screen into basic halves or quarters.

There is a much better way to handle this.

You can download a free, official Microsoft app called PowerToys.

Inside PowerToys, there is a specific tool called FancyZones.

It lets you draw a custom, invisible grid on your monitors. You can make the zones any exact size or shape you want.

Once your grid is set up, you just hold the Shift key and drag a program into one of your zones. It instantly snaps to the exact position you created.

You can build a layout with your calendar tucked in a small corner, your main work software dead center, and your chat app on the far right.

Give it a try if you need an extra boost in productivity 😉
