That's not all, though. To keep work and life separate, you may use your keyboard to paste text without its original untidy formatting, take a photo of your computer, and create a virtual desktop. Here are seven shortcuts to help you save even more time: tap or click here.

A similar shortcut opens your Google Calendar with a blank calendar item for you to fill in, saving you time over scrolling through your calendar or Google Drive.


This is how it goes:

To begin, ensure that you're logged into your Google account. Now go ahead and open your browser. In the URL bar of your browser, put the kind of file you wish to create, followed by ".new."


For example, type "document.new" to open a Google Doc or "cal.new" to start a Google Calendar item.


Here's a useful reference list. For any program, you can use any of the following shortcuts:


Document.new, docs.new, and doc.new are all Google Docs extensions.


• Google Sheets: new.spreadsheet, new.sheets, new.sheet


• Google Slides: new.presentation, new.slides, new.slide


• Forms.new, form.new, forms.new, forms.new, forms.new, forms.new, forms.new, forms


• Keep.new, notes.new, and note.new are all Google Keep subdomains.


• Meeting.new and cal.new are Google Calendar extensions.


• Meet.new by Google
