What I doWhat I do
Two disciplines, one output: less time spent, fewer mistakes made.
Build the shortcut
A batch script, a VBA macro, a desktop app or a web app. Whichever gets you there fastest, with the fewest moving parts.
Make it stick
A tool only saves time if people keep using it. Hurricane has been in daily use since 2003.
I’m not loyal to any tool. I use whichever one gets your work done faster and with fewer mistakes.
