How many times have you had to print something out just so you could copy it back into Word or another program on your computer?  I used to do that all the time until I installed dual monitors on my office computer.  It saves time by not having to switch between screens and it also saves paper.  Paper is a big expense if you start to count how many pages you print daily.

In order to install dual monitors, you will need to make some changes to your current computer.  Go to newegg.com and buy a new dual output video card if your computer doesn’t already have one.  If you don’t know how to swap out hardware, you should hire a computer tech (please no GeekSquad).  While you’re on newegg, pick up some monitors. Flat panels are no longer expensive.  There’s no reason to waste precious desk space on an old CRT monitor.

Now that you’ve set up your dual monitors, the next step is to set up dual monitors for everyone else in your office.  That’s right, everyone from your law clerk to secretary to associate should have dual monitors.  The same logic applies to you as it does to them.  Their efficiency will increase and they’ll use less paper.

When that’s done, you might want to try a cool dual monitor wallpaper tool call Display Fusion.
