Here is a Productivity Tip for everyone. If you want to increase your productivity everyday, then make a to-do list everyday. This is not some type of rocket science theory or ivory tower concept. It is a practical approach to getting more done.

It’s time for a true confession. If I don’t have a priority list of to-do’s or things to do or what ever you want to call it – then time is wasted. There I admit it – I can waste time just like everyone else. The key for me is to have a clear list of things to accomplish the next day – before I go to bed at night.

To some people this is a strange question to ask. A stranger situation is for people to be thinking about the present – what am I going to do today? So what do you think about most often?

The research says you are probably like the 85% of the population that are thinking about the past. When I first heard that 85% of the time, people are thinking about things in the past I truly didn’t believe it. Yet, the more I listened to people talk, asked questions about their thoughts and did my own brand of research on this thought processing I came to the same conclusion.

Knowing how to use your software technology improves your productivity – immediately! Sounds simple and it is. As complex and sophisticated as software is today, how many of you actually know how to use it effectively? When doing my research on what makes companies consistently grow and profit I discovered the true value of technology. Technology has a purpose to make things simpler for people – which feels counter-initiative based upon the lack of training and support for most software.

Remember this statement:

“Technology is designed to automatic and simplify the routine.”

Is your software doing the automatic and simplifying the routine for you today? If you are one of the lucky ones that has been trained on the software that you use everyday, then great – stop reading. If you are not one of the lucky ones, how can you move to those ranks?

There are many technology/software training companies located in the bigger cities. However, the best system for me provides flexibility to learn about my software anytime and anywhere. To select specific topics or techniques that I need immediately or a reminder for seldom used functions or actual software – you need flexible. While it is not usually to discuss business issues to name a specific resource is different for me.

You need to check out Lynda.com and test drive the learning. If you like it, you can sign up for what works for you. Personally, I have used this system for the past six months with outstanding results. I have learned how to use or should I say – properly or fully use my everyday software collection. I have also learned how to use some new software collections and have actually learned how to build a website, use certain code effectively, question my webmaster more acurately, and most importantly get things done much faster and simpler that in the past.

I’m not selling this and there is no hidden link or cookie from my site. Only an open testimonial to a system that I find working for me. Enjoy and learn some new things about that software on your computer!
