Software tips for maximizing your productivity

With all the high-powered software at our disposal, most of us are not as productive as we should.

Only a few years ago, many experts were predicting that the proliferation of software applications cropping up for every imaginable purpose would bring an extraordinary level of productivity to our lives.  However, this prediction has turned out not even close to being true.  Whether used for office automation (Microsoft Office: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access), for graphic design (Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash), or for web publishing (Microsoft FrontPage, Adobe Dreamweaver), the results hold surprisingly consistent: the level of our productivity increase due to software use has not fulfilled the high expectations most people had even as far as five years ago. 

Why is it so difficult to obtain full benefits from the software that we use nowadays? Are the packages becoming too complex?  Is the documentation deficient?  Is the training available not doing a good job preparing you to become productive?

This site aims to provide helpful software tips that are not readily evident from traditional training or product documentation.  We will also analyze the reasons why modern training methods are ineffective in preparing people to use software efficiently,  compromising our ability to derive maximum productivity benefits in our daily lives.

Stay tuned for useful advice and analysis to use software and to learn software in order to maximize your productivity.  Also, we will soon be launching a great computer training site that addresses the training and productivity problems  affecting many of us today.
