Why try?

Having worked with many Operating Systems and software applications have likely set you wishing you could streamline your work-flow. Each and every step in the process of doing your daily tasks are often burdened down with steps that feel tedious or seem somewhat unnecessary. It may be that you must do somethings in an order that you strongly dislike, or the machine dislikes; and, by that I mean to say, sometimes you click an operation knowing full well that your computer will lag. Does anyone like lag? While lag will likely always occur to some degree, many of these issues can be avoided with proper consideration.

3. Where are you doing too many Repetitive Tasks the hard way?
   
   • Do you prefer the long way around a problem?
   • Do you prefer the applications you use to do tasks; is the work-flow more logical?
   • Which steps are burdened with lag, and therefore just longer than they are worth?
4. What would you Change?

Try to consider these questions carefully.

With conscious thought and attention to taking notes about your work-flow you can greatly discover easy ways to improve your performance. For the next week keep handy a few sheets of paper folded down the middle to form a small booklet, next to your keyboard. Throughout the day make notes of anything you do that reminds you of the preceding questions. By the end of the week read over the answers that you wrote. Then try to think of your own questions under mine. Use the remaining pages to write a plan-of-actions toward resolving your work-flow bottle necks without spending a penny. "Work smarter not Harder".
