Free GTD Training - Extended Offer - Act Fast!

Our friends at Priacta have extended their free training offer thru the end of the year.  This is not a shill to make me money.  I have no monetary interest in (or profit from) Priacta.  Priacta is a solid company with a solid product that I have tried and believe in.

The TRO system is excellent.  If you sign up now, the training is free.  You can't go wrong!

Want proof?  Back in May I posted an article titled GTD Software Comparison and asked for feedback from Priacta students.  The feedback was phenomenal.  'nuff said.  Check it out and I am pretty sure you will not be disappointed.

Either way, feel free to leave a comment about your experience with Priacta's twist on GTD.

Free GTD Training - Act Fast!

You have just a few hours to take advantage of this opportunity, so act fast!  My friend Kevin Crenshaw at Priacta is offering a free "gift to the world".  That is; the TRO Online Training System for free!  At least for the next 24 hours...  This normally $99 value is available for free until the end-of-day December 25.  For details, visit; http://www.priacta.com/Training/troonline.php.

A while back, I wrote about the Priacta Total Relaxed Organization training.  It's well worth the $99.  It's well worth the taking advantage of this one time FREE Premium Online Training.  You will not be disappointed!

Record Windows Keystrokes, Mouse Movements and Clicks

Back in the old Windows 3.1 days, Microsoft had a free program called Windows Recorder to record and playback Windows keystrokes and mouse-click macros.  It was not perfect, but it worked well enough for small tasks.  Since Windows 95, Windows has been missing a keyboard and mouse recorder.

There are a number of pay-for-use Windows keyboard and mouse recorder products on the market.  Recently, I stumbled across a free version of one of the better keyboard and mouse recorder programs.  It is called Eventcorder Lite.  This is a free version of the Eventcorder Suite of Windows applications that allows you to record and playback Windows keystrokes, mouse movements, and mouse clicks. 

To download the free version Eventcorder, click this link: http://www.eventcorder.com/ec_downloads.htm

With the free version, I was able to quickly create several Windows point-click-keyboard macros.  The program is smart enough to record what window you are manipulating and allows you to change the speed of the keystrokes and mouse movements.

Eventcorder is simple enough to use that the semi-skilled Windows users should be able to create simple macros in a few minutes after installing the program.  For those familiar with more advanced concepts like Window Class Names and dependencies, you will be able to create some pretty advanced (and cool!) Windows macros after playing with the application for a while.

Eliminating Screw Covers on a Shelf

Do you have a set of Sauder-like white shelves?  We do.  They come with little round white tabs that cover the screws holding the shelf together.  What we have found is that the screw covers come off quite easily.  So easily that they can get lost, or worse yet, consumed by a small child! 

Today’s lifehack tip is to simply eliminate those white tabs and “paint” the screw tops with white-out/Liquid Paper.  No muss, no fuss, no little round tabs getting lost, no little round tabs getting ingested by little round children.

For other colored shelving units - Just use a brown permanent maker to cover the screws on a brown shelf, or a black permanent maker if you have a black shelf… you get the idea!
