Your MacBook laptop is vital for keeping you productive at home, whether you are working remotely, or you are a student trying to get your work completed for the semester. Fine-tuning your Apple device will ensure productivity and focus every time you work. Below are a few tips to help you avoid distractions.

How to Organize Your Mac for Top Productivity

1. Activate Airplane Mode

If you don’t need the internet for your workload, turn off the Wi-Fi and work in airplane mode. The temptation of surfing the internet while you are in front of your screen is eliminated when there is no connection. If you do need the internet for certain tasks, only turn it back on to complete those, so you stay on target.

2. Disable Certain Sites

Some websites are distracting, especially social media. Disable anything that you know will pull your attention. There are certain apps and programs that will turn off or set timers to keep your time on these sites to a minimum. Some are designed specifically for MacBook laptops, while others are extensions to attach to your internet browser.

3. Conceal the Dock

You have the option to hide your dock, and when it is out of sight, it is out of your mind so you can work. Right-click any area in the blank space in your dock. Click “Turn Hiding On,” and when you move your cursor out, the dock will be concealed until you move your cursor back.

4. Use Multiple Desktops

Macs allow you to create different desktops for your many tasks. Slide four fingers up on the trackpad to start “Mission Control.” Here you will see a small bar with the words “Dashboard” and various “Desktop” areas. Move the cursor to produce another bar to view multiple desktops and a plus symbol at the right where you can add a new one. Designate a desktop for each function and only include files and programs that you need, so others don’t distract you.

5. Start Fresh

Avoid settings on your browsers that allow you to continue where you left off during your last session. Every time you begin, start with one tab. This acts as a fresh start, so you don’t get lost in tabs you were working in prior to shutting down. It also allows you to focus on your specific to-do list for that day and not what you already did.
