One simple trick to start your day faster

Everyone of us usually access the same sites everyday: Facebook, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo and many others. Have you ever wondered how many time you lose typing URL's or looking for it on your favorites? Worse than that is when you forget to check something important and just find it out when are too far from a computer or internet. 

Just a few people know the power of the Batch Files. First of all, whats is it?

"A batch file is an unformatted text file that contains one or more commands and has a .bat or .cmd file name extension. When you type the file name at the command prompt, Cmd.exe runs the commands sequentially as they appear in the file." - Microsoft

It is really simple to create one batch file and extremely useful in just 3 simple steps you will be able to do it too:

1 - Open Notepad

2 - Use the following commands

@echo off  (This command will hide all echo texts, just use it if you want)

start chrome "http://gmail.com" (This command will open gmail automatically, you can put inside quotation marks any site you want like: "http://www.facebook.com" or "http://www.9gag.com")

start outlook (Bonus: if you check your Outlook daily you can use it to open it!)

3 - Go to "Save as" then type the name you want and end it with ".bat". Change the type to "All files" then save.

Now if you click on this file it will start a command window to run it all. Quite easy right?

Do you wanna see what I check daily? Here it goes my batch file:

@echo off

start chrome "http://9gag.com"

start chrome "http://willianbeneducci.blogspot.com.br/"

start chrome "https://www.facebook.com/messages"

start chrome "https://adwords.google.com/"

start chrome "http://www.hotmail.com/"

start chrome "http://gmail.com"

start outlook

Hint: when you run this kind of file it will take some seconds to open everything so you can wake up, click on the batch file then grap a cup of coffe. When you come back everything will be waiting for you just to check! No more unnecessary typing!
