Add icons to your dock that you use most often, and remove those that shipped with your Macbook if they are not something you use often. In the "Spotlight," type in "Spaces" and click on the "Set up Spaces." This is especially useful if you use your Mac for work and pleasure: Set up one "space" for work, and another for home or play.
