0:55

Finder Preferences: General

general tab i actually uncheck open folders and tab instead of new windows since i could just click the path to go back to the previous folder when i open new finder windows i also like to see my documents folder instead of the recent folder under tags if
1:10

Finder Preferences: Tags & Sidebar

you're like me and don't use tags you can uncheck all of them here or just leave the ones you do use and for sidebar i like to keep mine as clean as possible so i uncheck the ones i never use feel free to just pause the video and copy my settings here and under
1:26

Finder Preferences: Advanced

advanced the only thing i change is search the current folder instead of search this mac this means whenever i search for something like so it will only search within that folder instead of this entire mac which will actually give me irrelevant results pro tip for accuracy i haven't seen anyone else mention if you're trying to move a
1:45

Moving Files between Folders

document between folders like this it's actually very easy to drop it into the wrong one but if you move the cursor to the right to one of these info columns you're actually now able to drop it into the top level folder without any issues
1:59

MacBook Dock Productivity Tips

the position of the dock by holding down shift and dragging the line like so second you can right click on the vertical line to access docs settings instead of having to go through system preferences and within dot preferences i like to disable show recent applications in dock to keep this clean this is a nice segue into the option key tips because if i hold down
2:47

MacBook Option Key Productivity Tips

option command i can drag the downloads folder and create a download alias folder i can now drag this download alias folder into the dock and this is nice to have because i believe by default the downloads folder within the dock opens in a weird stack way that i don't really like and now i can just delete the download alias folder here and this remains where it is similar to the first tip of this video if you right-click on a file to open with another app you can actually just hold down option and this changes to always open with if you want to quickly make a copy of a file hold down option and drag the file down or to another folder normally you expand folder views one level at a time like this but if you hold down option and click you expand all child folders and files immediately and for almost every menu tab up here if you hold down option you'll see hidden directories or new functions this is very useful the next time you come across a help center article or tutorial telling you to go into a folder you can't seem to find clearly not jeff's two standard but by holding down option you might be able to

Add Library Folder to Sidebar on Mac

locate it on that note the hidden library folder is actually very useful for us to access regularly this under go hold down option and you'll see it open library go to file and add this to sidebar so you can navigate back to this easily pro tip the font folder is actually in your library and this is where you can add or delete fonts used on your mac to wrap this part up by holding down option and clicking the red x button you close all windows for a given application moving on here's a

Scribe Sponsorship

speaking of recording your screen the sponsor of today's video is scribe i've talked about them before big fan of their product they're a free chrome extension that you can use to create high quality step-by-step tutorials at work or for school for example for me at work all new joiners need to learn how to use a specific tool instead of teaching the same thing over and over again i create a scribe add the link to an onboarding document for all new hires to go through although the free version of scribe is more than enough for 80 of use cases they've been super nice and provided us with 200 scribe pro promo codes the pro version you can do extra stuff like recording on web and desktop and annotating screenshots you can sign up using the link down below and there's a scribe teaching you how to redeem the promo code so you can experience it for

Export Images to PDF

alternatively after opening a pdf document you go to file export png to create an image file from all the pdf pages like so this is especially useful if you're uploading documents to a website that only accept a certain file type and although i don't really use keynote pages or numbers because google workspace is the best place okay remember you can export keynote

7:10

Force Quit Applications on Mac

all right next macbook tip if the program stops responding you have three ways to deal with it first you can bring up activity monitor select the apple process and click stop by the way i use a free app called alfred instead of a default spotlight so let me know if you want a video on all the apps i use on the mac second you can hold down the command option escape keys and force quit the application that way or finally you can actually go down to the dock right click and actually hold down option and force quit that way basically the option key gives you a lot of options i gotta end this video if you're
