Nate Tilley explains why your mouse pointer is probably set too slow. Crank it to maximum speed and you'll navigate faster, cut wasted motion, and roughly double your efficiency once you adjust. One setting change compounds into real productivity gains.
If I go and I sit next to somebody and I see how they use their computer, I need to do one thing to improve their efficiency by double, and it's typically getting their mouse speed and dragging it up to full. Like, either I can see someone's got their mouse speed at 50%. It's just like, oh, my God. Like, you poor child. What have you been doing? Let me show you the way. Right? That's the way that you're going to be using your main piece of machinery to do your work and navigating around that. So it only makes sense if you can navigate around it quicker. You're going to get more output, and it does take some while to get used to. But it's these little speed improvements and these micro optimizations that give you a lot of efficiency when it comes to tools.
