I'm always looking for ways to do things better/faster/concurrently with something else. I enjoy finding those little apps and utils that make me more productive on my laptop. (I know. geeky).

So the question is name one thing that you do that helps you get more done or better uses the time you have? It could be an app or something on your phone or computer or a technique or habit that you do.

For example I like to listen to podcasts while I commute. If I'm just sitting in traffic I might as well be learning

    Using the keyboard shortcuts on my computer saves my time as well as helps me in doing things faster. You can refer the below link for Keyboard shortcuts.

      Yep keyboard shortcuts are definitely way quicker than reaching for the mouse

    I likewise listen to educational CDs while driving which often involves sitting in traffic.

    I love my 35 minute commute to work. I can listen to a TED or one of my company's audio updates.

  • For me, it is my willingness to achieve the best in life.

    What makes me motivated are my priorities, goals, and targets that I want to achieve. Even when I achieve them, I always look forward to continuing finding and focusing on my weaknesses that I have because that's what keeps me alive and gives me a reason to chase something.

    I often download audio books to my iphone, and listen to them when being on the bus for hours. Sometimes I read books too, but it is easier to have your hand free while you can still absorb the knowledge from the books.
