Learning how to type and use your keyboard shortcuts will help you to avoid the mouse.

How many toolbars do you have on your web browser?

How much software do you need on your computer?

Be picky. If you aren’t going to use that software at least once a week - you probably don’t need it on your computer. If you haven’t used a piece of software in a few months, think about uninstalling it.

I’m sure you’ve seen those computer desktops with a bajillion shortcuts on it. That’s no better than leaving papers all over your office. There’s a reason geek-speak calls them files and folders. Treat them like their real world companions and they will be easier to find, work with, and be more secure all at the same time.
