A simple technique to increase your productivity is to increase your mouse pointer speed. Increasing your mouse pointer speed will save you a few seconds each time you move your mouse. But those few seconds can add up to a lot.

During the day when you're working on your computer, you probably move your mouse thousands of times across the screen. Let's say that increasing your mouse pointer speed saves you 1 second each time you move it. If you move your mouse 1,000 times, you'll save about 17 minutes. If you move your mouse 3,000 times, you'll save 50 minutes.

Instead of spending that time moving your mouse, you can put those minutes to better use. You can use that time to get more work done. Or you can have more time to relax and have fun.

When you first increase the speed of your mouse, it'll feel awkward at first. It might feel too fast. But after a while, you'll get used to it. And having a faster mouse speed will feel normal.

If it still feels too fast, you can gradually work your way up to faster speeds. Once you feel you've mastered a speed, increase your mouse speed by a notch. Then after you've mastered that speed, increase your mouse speed by a notch again.

To change your mouse pointer speed, you'll have to go to the Control Panel (if you use Windows) and select “Mouse.” There should be a setting where you can adjust the mouse speed. On my computer, the setting is found in the “Pointer Options” tab.
