macOS Hints: QuickLook Settings

macOS

QuickLook is one of the most popular features of macOS, as it allows users to quickly preview files without having to open them. In macOS Sonoma and the new macOS Sequoia, QuickLook is enabled by default. However, the feature might have been disabled in certain settings or by third-party software.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

ProjectWizards Christmas Greetings

The year is drawing to a close, and we know your project schedule is likely packed right up to 11:59 PM on December 31. But don’t worry – even Santa Claus is an avid Merlin user. No wonder, considering he has to manage a complex project every year: delivering gifts worldwide in 24 hours, without delays or budget overruns. 🎅

With the help of Gantt charts for optimizing his sleigh route and milestone tracking for wrapping gifts, he always stays on schedule – and we hope Merlin Project has guided you just as reliably through this year’s challenges. 🌟

Now, it’s time to leave a few tasks in the backlog and enjoy the well-deserved "Milestone achieved!" celebration. 🎄


We wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas, relaxing holidays, and a productive but stress-free New Year – with perfectly planned projects, of course!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

We’re taking a short break from December 24, 2024, to January 1, 2025, to recharge our batteries and start 2025 full of energy.

Stay Productive and Stress-Free with Day Theming

Productivity with Day Theming

Ever feel like you’re juggling a hundred things at once — emails, meetings, planning sessions, and last-minute crises? Day theming might be your new best friend. It’s a productivity method where you dedicate each day to a specific theme or type of task, helping you focus deeply and work more effectively.

Instead of constantly switching between unrelated tasks (and losing precious focus along the way), day theming allows you to group similar activities together. Think of it as assigning a role to each day.
