The WORST Mistake Almost Everyone Makes on a Computer

The WORST Mistake Almost Everyone Makes on a Computer

Would you like to finish every single work day a half hour or an hour earlier than you normally do?

If you work until 5:30pm, your work day ends at 5pm or even 4:30pm?

If I could get everyone to read one computer tip, this would be it.

I hope you just don’t read the next few sentences, see where I’m going, and then move on to something else or you’ll miss some valuable insights for finishing work early.

Let’s start with this important concept….

You’re not working on a computer.

You’re working on a time-saving machine.

The only reason to use a time-saving machine is to help you finish your work as fast as possible, right?

When you stop learning new computer shortcuts, the additional time-savings screeches to a halt.

Unfortunately, for most people that additional time savings stopped years ago. Maybe even a decade or longer. 

You basically decided to work longer (often, much longer) than you need to.

No more learning = No more time-saving

No more time-saving = Working longer than you need to


I’ve been in technology for over 20 years, and what I noticed 20 years ago is the same today…the people who are constantly looking for computer shortcuts accomplish a lot more in less time than the people who don’t.

The people who don’t are just too busy.

Think about what I just wrote.

They’re too busy to learn how to be less busy.

If you’re stressed and busy, isn’t that exactly the reason you should be learning computer shortcuts?

Shouldn’t that be a priority…to be less busy? Less stressed?

Think about this….the truth is that there are very few INDIVIDUAL computer tips that will save you a LOT of time each day.

Most computer tips will probably save you a few minutes each day.

Is that a reason NOT to learn them?

Of course, not! It’s the reason TO learn them.

What if I could show you a computer tip that only saved you two minutes a day?

That probably would be a big yawn for most people, and that’s EXACTLY why most people have long, stressful work days, even though they are using the most powerful, time-saving invention ever.

If you learned fifteen computer shortcuts that save you two minutes a day, you just shortened your work day by a half hour.

Seriously.

If your work day normally ends at 5:30pm, it now ends at 5pm.

Every single day for as long as you continue working on a computer your day ends a half-hour ahead of schedule.

Who wouldn’t want that?

Sign me up!

I say, give me as many of those two-minute computer shortcuts as possible, so I can finish work even earlier.

My advice, collect computer tips.

Learn as many shortcuts as possible, so you can finish the work day sooner and with less stress.

All the computer tips in my book, “Simple Computer Tips for Busy People”, are time-saving shortcuts for people like you.

All the computer tips have a common theme…helping non-techies like you finish work early.

And if you’re not into going through a book, at least sign-up for my free newsletter at ComputerTipsforBusyPeople.com. You'll receive valuable, practical computer tips that help you finish work early.

Don’t dismiss any computer tip. Try each one. Try the ones that sound boring or not very useful. You’d be surprised how useful they are until you actually try them.

Don’t just read them. Immediately do them. You’re never going to remember a computer tip you read, but you will remember a computer tip you immediately try a few times.

You probably work on a computer about 40 hours or more a week. Out of those 40 hours every week, how many minutes do you realistically spend on online distractions like shopping, checking sports scores, watching YouTube videos, checking the news, updating your Facebook page, etc.?

Now, how many minutes each week do you invest learning a shortcut or two for saving yourself some time?

None?

If so, at minimum, wouldn’t five or ten minutes a week seem to make sense, particularly since every minute you invest in learning computer tips shortens your work day?

If I could get everyone to follow the chapter in my book that contains 10 tips for better email management, I’m confident that I can save most people an hour a day. It worked for me. But you need to follow ALL the tips, though, and not just cherry pick the few that look like they take no effort to learn.

Don’t be too busy to learn computer shortcuts.

Hate being stressed and busy so much that you want it to go away, and that way out is computer shortcuts.

The more computer tips you know, the less you work!

Ready to get started?
