More for less with ActiveWords - Part 5 - The Results

Continued from ActiveWords Part 4

So far ActiveWords has saved me about 3.7 hours work in 78 days.

How do I know?

ActiveWords keeps a log of it’s use and gives a productivity report. Maybe 3.7 hours doesn’t sound a huge amount but this is while I learnt the product & changed my habits to use it more. It’s not hard to use but does take some time to bed in as you un-learn the hard way you used to do things.

  • Imagine sitting down for nearly four hours solid of typing and mousing.
  • Imagine achieving the same, or better, results in while eliminating that redundant time.
  • ActiveWords costs about $50
  • Avoiding effort and better results: Priceless

Here are the numbers!
