    Alt+Tab is definitely your friend, Tabs on a browser is always a plus, and having multiple screens open on your monitor, arranged just right for quick exchange is a plus as well!

    Just incase the big wigs are around I always have my Android phone available if I need to update anything.

    I type out whatever I need on a word document that already has text in it so if my boss comes by I just have to scroll up.

    When you are on a triple monitor setup and have MFP up on one of them, Alt+Tab doesn't help, unfortunately. I use tabs in my browser.

    Also, if you're still using an old version of windows, move your task bar so it's on the left of your screen. That way, the name of the site won't appear on the minimised tab!

    Just tried this!! LOVE IT!

    Make a squinty face while staring at my screen -

    - to me: playing on MFP
    - to boss: working too hard, you need a break sam, how about lunch?

    It has worked!

    play music everyday that way when you switch to watching movies on netflix no one notices...

    Also, if you keep snacks at your desk the company owner will love you forever...
