Tips & recommendations

Tips & recommendations

Pro tips to get the most out of this tool.

The cost compounds silently

Two seconds per action is nothing. Two seconds × 200 actions a day × 250 days is 27 hours a year.

Fix the top five first

Learning the five shortcuts behind your most frequent actions captures most of the available savings.

Make it a team habit

Share results in the office — teams that adopt shortcuts together actually keep them.

Re-measure every month

Retake the quiz monthly. Watching the number drop is the most motivating progress bar there is.
