In the current issue of Inc. magazine, a CEO describes how he will save 180 days over the course of his career (he defines his career as 40 years) simply by using keyboard shortcuts.  Yes, 180 days!! Full, 24-hour days, not 8 or 10 hour workdays.  What would you do with an extra 180 days over the course of your career?

Many of the Word shortcuts will work in Excel, Outlook, and other Microsoft programs but there are other shortcuts that will save you time on common tasks in those programs too.  Look for those lists coming soon! You may not start out saving 780 keystrokes per day, but even if you can save 200 per day that still comes out to 48 full days over 40 years.  What could you do with that extra eight weeks?
