How to navigate Windows using a keyboard

It was 6.45 am and there was a nagging voice inside my head that told me not to go back to bed and be productive this time. So I turned on my PC begrudgingly, and still lazy, I've decided that using the mouse is too bothersome.

Perhaps it's not too late to learn the shortcuts to navigating windows?

Hence I asked google for help and found this really helpful page :  How to navigate Windows using a keyboard

And I did something extra. I took all the tips on the page, and fit it in a sticky note which i put up on my desktop for easy reference and training.
