Add separators to your computer's taskbar to keep your mind clearer, possibly in groups of either 4, 6, or 8 apps per group.
If you've ever wanted to group your apps into separate spaces on your taskbar, you actually can - with a little help from this workaround we've talked about before. All you need to do is create a shortcut to a fake EXE file, give it a transparent icon, and add it to your taskbar. You can separate your office apps from your games, or even your slow-loading apps from your fast-loading apps - that way, if you accidentally click on the wrong button, you don't have to wait 60 seconds for the wrong app to load before you close it. One reader, however, made this tip even better. If you put that transparent icon into an image editor - like the GIMP - you can add text to each separator to give them different categories.
