# 22. Windows + W: Open the Widgets Board
Constantly opening separate apps for weather, news, calendar, or stock updates breaks your concentration and wastes time. The Widgets panel brings all this personalized information together in one clean view.
Simply press **Windows + W** to slide in the Widgets board from the left. Customize it with the widgets you actually use. It’s a fantastic way to stay informed at a glance without switching apps or cluttering your desktop. Many users check this several times a day instead of opening multiple browser tabs.
