The world's most popular browser:

Google Chrome

Unfortunately it sucks your computer memory and slows it to a crawl.

Here are 7 simple ways to speed up Chrome:
Before we start, ensure you're using the latest version of Chrome.

• Click the 3 dots (Options)
• Choose 'help'
• Click 'about Google Chrome'

It'll tell you if yours is up-to-date.

If it's not, update it now.

Let's go.
#1: Clear your browsing data.

As you visit more + more websites, data accumulates in Chrome.

This slows the browser down.

• Choose the 'Chrome' tab
• Click 'clear browsing data'
• Choose 'All time'

Now select which elements you want to clear.

Then clear your data.
#2: Set up auto-delete.

Clearing data ONCE isn't enough - do it regularly

Click:

• Options
• Settings
• Manage Google account
• Manage data + personalization
• Manage data + privacy
• Web + app activity

Turn auto-delete on + delete your old activity automatically.
#3: Disable extensions you aren't using.

Extensions are wonderful, but they slow down your computer.

Remove the ones you don't need:

• Options
• More tools
• Extensions

Then disable and remove the ones you no longer use.
#4: Remove web apps.

Chrome apps suck memory so if you don't need them, remove them.

Go to chrome://apps then:

• Right click on any you don't use
• Remove them

It's time for a clear out.
#5: Make webpages open faster with prefetch.

Prefetch anticipates where you might go next.

Turn prefetch on:

• Go to chrome://settings/cookies
• Turn on 'preload pages for faster browsing'

It loads your next page in the background for faster access.
#6: Suspend your tabs.

I often have a gazillion tabs open at once which slows my browser.

The Great Suspender app solves this:

• Suspends tabs I've not used for a while.
• But keeps them open for when I need them

This saves on memory while tabs are dormant.
#7: Use experimental features

chrome://flags

Here, try features that haven't been fully released.

Consider these 3:

• 'Parallel downloading' improves download speed
• 'Back-forward cache' stores sites for quick use
• 'Override software rendering list' uses GPU acceleration
TL;DR 7 ways to speed up your Chrome browser:

#1: Clear your browsing data
#2: Set up auto-delete
#3: Disable extensions
#4: Remove web apps
#5: Open pages faster with prefetch
#6: Suspend your tabs
#7: Use experimental features

Your Twitter thread will suck without a killer hook.

Here are 7 of the best hooks on Twitter

(to get your thread the attention it deserves):
#1: Make it attention-grabbing.

A good thread hook should be:

• scroll-stopping
• relevant
• concise

Grab the reader's attention.

Make them want to read more.

See this by @FitFounder:
@FitFounder #2: Be clear about who it's for.

Make sure your hook is relevant to your audience.

If they read the hook, they need to know the thread is for them.

That compels them to read on.

Your slides can make or break your presentation.

Over the past 5 years, I've reviewed over 300 slide decks.

Here are the 10 best tips I can give you to crush your next presentation:
#1: Stick to one idea per slide.

When you have too much content, that's often because you are trying to convey too much in one slide.

Strip it all back.

One idea per slide.

Talk about your idea. Make it meaningful for your audience.

Don't cram everything together.
#2: Don’t use them as a script.

This is the most common worry people have.

Q: "How will I remember what to say?"

A: If you need to, use notes.

Your slides aren't your memory aid, they are to enhance your message.

Provide handouts, use notes, don't put it all on the slides.
