One way to dramatically speed-up your productivity and PC’s performance is to automate tasks. Sometimes, this can be done to simply create a few hotkeys to reduce the amount of mouse work you do. Alternatively, it can involve automating defrags, shut-downs etc.<\/p>\n
Probably the best tool by far for doing this is Ghost Control<\/a> which allows you to record just about any macro imaginable. Anything that can be performed on your keyboard or mouse can be recorded in Ghost Control and then turned into a useful macro that you can assign to just one key. Autoit<\/a> is a stripped-down version that does pretty much the same thing but also extends functions to automating DOS commands. WireKeys<\/a> focuses on automating only keystrokes to help reduce writing time. So instead of writing an entire standard e-mail, just a few key strokes will type it for you. Another tool aimed to reduce writing time is LetMeType<\/a> which can be configured to predict words as you type in any application – a bit like predictive texting on your phone. Finally, if you check the same websites every day, why not let iOpus Internet Macros<\/a> take care of it for you. It automates your most common surfing habbit so you can sit back and take it easy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One way to dramatically speed-up your productivity and PC’s performance is to automate tasks.
