other examples of productivity (nothing real deep):
in MSExcel, you can use Conditional Format to make red or bold the cells within a given column that have values over 80%... way way cool, then easily spot entries that meet the criterion from among several hundred or a thousand entries before your eyes glaze over... I have used this and it is wicked cool and quick
deleting MSWindow mail messages, just hit EditMenu and select Delete Entire Folder
- used to get in folder, highlight them, delete
had Beemr "Check Engine Light" go on recently, scared the crapp out of me... couldve been blown gasket, broken cylinder head... with me watching, technician plugged in diagnostic PC and in minutes found the problem... my gas cap was not on tight, which affected backpressure on air intake... impressive nonetheless
buy tankfull of gasoline with credit card, bangbang
when out of town, call Mastercard or Mobil Oil credit card billing centers using 800#, hit buttons, and find your balance, your due date, your minimum to pay
I just paid 12 monthly bills with setup accounts online, took 20 minutes, no stamps, no worrying about 3 days delivery to arrive under due date
wanna buy a stereo component or appliance at a store, they dont have it... in two minutes they tell you which other chain store has it and where... then they put hold on it until you pick it up... slick and quick
Yahoo Mapper feature... tell it start point and end point... out comes incredibly accurate detailed course with instructions of street names, highway names, bridges, exits, distances... I have used it, impressive as hell
and then cell phone cut out hours of wasted drive time... and faxes cut out days of waiting for mail... and emails outnumber snailmail by 10:1 now
list goes on
productivity era has only begun
it is accelerating
