T
hough many of us are loath
to admit it, we often can’t
do two things at once; but
your Mac is nevertheless on
hand with the facilities to help
you do just that, and more. As we use
our Macs so much, we tend to revert to
form, meaning that our desktops become
quickly populated with open folders and
app windows. However, a certain built-in
utility called Mission Control can change
all that in an instant, snapping your clutter
into uniformed positions on the desktop
and making it easy for you to find what
you need without having to manually drag
or reduce windows. Then there’s split-
screen mode that allows you to block out
an untidy, distracting desktop by allowing
you to focus on two apps at a time. Or,
if you’re welcoming of distractions, then
Picture-in-Picture mode lets you watch
videos while you work in a small viewing
portal in the corner of your screen. Apple
wants you to be the master of your Mac
and by exploring all of what it has to offer,
you can find new and improved ways of
working that allow you to accomplish
more in a shorter amount of time.
If you also factor in the ways in which
your iPhone and iPad can be connected to
your Mac to act as a second screen or a
writing pad then you have an eco-system
that is very much geared towards helping
you multitask and achieve more.
Give your productivity a boost by utilising the
many multitasking functions of your Mac and
iOS device to perform multiple tasks at once
