Personal productivity software can really help you be “productive.” It doesn’t matter what you want to do, personal productivity software can probably help you do it better and in less time. For example… - With personal finance software, you can pay your bills electronically in a matter of minutes. You may never again write a check for your car payment, cable TV, or utility bill.
- With only 7 clicks on your mouse, you can use spreadsheet software and turn a table of numbers into a high quality, revealing graph.
- With Web authoring software, you can create a Web site in just a few short minutes. You can learn how to use many Web authoring software packages in less than an hour.
- With desktop publishing software, you can design your own book that looks just like this one.
- With word processing software, you can create a table of information. Then you can sort that table with only 4 clicks on your mouse. You can also easily create formulas that average, count, sum and even find the minimum and maximum of values in a column.
- With only ?? clicks on your mouse, you can add animation, audio, or perhaps even a video clip to a slide presentation. Think how this will help your grade.
Personal productivity software can in fact really help you be more “productive.” With only 4 clicks on your mouse, you can easily add interactivity (animation, audio, or video) to a slide presentation. You should learn all the features of your personal productivity software. It will help you be more productive, and, in the case of adding interactivity to a slide presentation, it may very well help your grade in class. |
