"Keep Learning... Your Future Depends On It"

A friend of mine, Adrian Martin, a Distribution Director at Avon Products, and I attended graduate school together, emailed me the following Time Management tip:

"One of the most basic time management enhancers that I think many of your readers could take advantage of is software application training. Software is so feature rich that we miss out on likely 50-75% of the features available to us because what we know serves us well enough. Consider a 20% improvement in your use of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook to name a few. Not only will the end products be completed faster but likely improved quality as well."

I attended a 20 minute seminar today at Gwinnett Hospital System that was put on for our staff called "NEW Microsoft tricks that can save you time". I learned a few new things - some of which I have already implemented. And I will save more than the 20 minutes it cost in the next month and every month after that.

I run a busy life and I constantly work to find the right balance between learning and doing.

One of the things I always admire about Leonardo Da Vinci not because he invented the scissors but his proficiency in so many fields. He also inspires me to reach higher. Keep learning my friend.......
