1. Must Know Shortcuts – MS Office & Google Doc’s
If you’re using Office or Google software – these are not to miss shortcuts.
MS Office – any program
- Ctrl + O – Open a new file
- Ctrl + W – Close a file
- Ctrl + N – Create a new document
Google Docs – any program (follow the precedent of .new)
You do need to have a Google account and Drive set up
- Type doc.new into www for new doc
- Type sheets.new into www for new sheet
2. Removing Duplicates in Excel / Google Sheets
If you have ever merged two lists that has double ups in it, you’ll know the pain of finding them and manually removing your duplicates.
There is a better way than one by one by one. Both Excel and Google Sheets has a function called Remove Duplicates and it makes your work so much easier. They simply ask you which column to check for the duplicate values (and you can do multiple columns). You’ll find remove duplicates:
- Google Documents – the data menu towards the bottom
- Excel: Data Ribbon> Data Tools Menu> Icon with two blue rectangles and a red x (see below)

4. Home Productivity Tip One – Holiday Present Tip
Several years ago Mary Lambie and I co-wrote a 101 Quick Tip Book, Surviving the Kids. Link is here
It has a tip from when our kids were small. I was lamenting to a colleague about the rip, tear and early morning gift frenzy our six children employed, She explained that their family practice is for their three children to open their gifts one at a time during the course of the day:
- It prolongs the pleasure for the entire day
- It allows each gift to get proper attention
- You can build up from small presents, to the ‘big one’.
