How to work smarter, not harder.

10 insanely useful Apple Mac tips:

1. Picture-in-picture

Watch videos in a small, floating window.

Maybe there's an online class you'd like to keep an eye on...

But you want most of your screen to be something else (like a word doc to take notes).

• Control+Click the video twice
• Select Picture-in-Picture

2. Volume & Brightness Micro Adjustments

Press a volume key, and it will adjust one whole notch.

But what if that's too loud or soft?

Make micro adjustments (0.25 increments):

Shift + Option, then press the volume or brightness control.

Yep—that blew my mind too.

3. Split View

Work in two apps at the same time, side-by-side.

Lock them in place:

• Hover over the full-screen 🟢 button
• Choose the L or R side
• Content will fill that side
• Fill the other side by clicking a window
• Slide the vertical line to adjust the width

4. Screen Sharing

Need to troubleshoot a grandparent's tech issue?

Remotely access + control their screen (built-in Mac feature):

1. Open Spotlight [Command + Space]
2. Search 'Screen Sharing'; open app
3. Type in the Apple ID of the desired screen
4. Owner then grants access
