2.4. Summary

It’s one thing to talk about accelerating your computer interactions with launchers, clipboard managers, IDE shortcuts, and all the various things mentioned in this chapter. It’s another to apply them. You know what speeds up your work, but you feel like you don’t have time to apply it. “I know there’s a keyboard shortcut that does this, but I’m in a hurry, so I’ll use the mouse instead and look up that keyboard shortcut later.” Later never comes. Becoming more productive involves finding a balance between pursuing productivity without gutting your current productivity (I know, this drips with irony). Try to tackle one productivity enhancer per week, concentrate on just that one until it becomes ingrained, then move on to the next. This method will have very little impact on your time, and you’ll gradually accrue better productivity.

Spend a little time each day to make every day more productive.
