OS X productivity tip: dock as taskbar

After converting to Mac from Linux (aah, how refreshing), I’ve been finding cool new ways to make my life easier. First of all, I’m assuming anyone who cares about productivity on a Mac has already installed one of the Launcher products. I personally use Butler.

If you’re using these things, you’ll find you’re very rarely reaching for the dock to launch new apps because it’s just much quicker to ctrl+space and type a couple letters. So the trick I found was to get rid of everything from your dock–just drag it off. That way, the dock becomes a taskbar, containing only the applications that are currently running. This makes it easy to navigate between running windows without having to skip over the other dormant stuff that is usually in the dock. So clear off your dock and get more productive right now.
