I have a simple, no-nonsense productivity secret that you can implement right now to triple your productivity. It's so easy, it only takes one click.

In this video Dylan Stewart, the MacWhisperer teaches how to use the right-click functionality (Sometimes called a control-click or a secondary click) on a mouse and/or trackpad. The right-click capability unlocks a contextual menu that changes depending on which application you are in. It saves you time from going into the menu bar or right-clicking for many frequent actions in almost every program.

Everyone who has ever used a PC computer knows all about the right-click, but for some reason, Apple created a mouse that looks like it only has one button, and they set the default functionality to single click… Assuming that Apple users don't know enough to use the right-click properly. They also have a trackpad on their laptops that is capable of the right-click, but which most people don't know how to activate (spoiler alert… You click with two fingers).

With a little bit of practice and a little bit of experimentation, the right click can save more time than almost anything else. That's why The MacWhisperer considers it to be his greatest productivity tip of all!
