Becoming a High-Performance PC User
Becoming a high-performance PC User simply means getting a whole lot more done in a day than your compatriots. This has the potential for positive effects on your career and your wallet. If you are an hourly employee, some people believe that since you get paid by the hour there is no real incentive for you to get more work done. That is totally false. Regardless of your compensation structure your boss will know. Then, when it comes time to promote someone to the new job that is generally acknowledged as being demanding, difficult or critical you stand a much better chance of being considered than the average person.
How do you get to this level of PC usage? Well, it is all about productivity. That simply means getting more done in a day than others get done in two days – those kinds of ratios. To accomplish this you need to review and improve everything about how your PC is used, how the applications are run and everything else about how your PC supports your job.
Let us start with the application platform. Review all your applications for the possibility of a custom install instead of using the Standard install which most people do. Then take a look at how you are using the app and determine if there are any changes that might positively impact productivity. Then you should totally review not only the application but everything you use it for to determine if there are things you could do differently that produce the same output quality but accomplish it faster.
Look at every data file and data element that contributes to your output and performance and set up access to it as efficiently as possible. Most people, for example, have User IDs and Passwords all over the place on their PC. You should store all of them in a single copy-access file on your Desktop.
You should then review all your email and financial access accounts to verify that you have an auto-login capability. Sometimes your company may have policies against this but where possible set up everything possible to launch, load, enter and pass security as rapidly and automatically as possible.
Next, do a review of your backup and restore capabilities. Securing all your data files and applications will help prevent “lost days” as a result of a head crash of virus exposure. Make sure you have a top notch virus protection system.
Lastly, review all the other things that could improve PC performance and speed – defragging, redundancy deletion, etc.
Make sure, also to keep a neat and tidy system registry to support an efficient and fast-running PC. You can get a good registry software system that does the scan and delete functions automatically. They also do all the other registry fix functions that accomplish any needed Registry Repair.
