Summary

In this chapter, we learned why we are inefficient. We learned three powerful ways of detecting inefficiency – useless repetition, who is helping whom, and hands versus brain. Finally, we saw how to find the right solution quickly – either through the top menu or by right-clicking.

Try this every day while you are working. The more you try, the easier it will be to detect problems and find solutions.

Congratulations. You are already on your way to becoming super efficient.

Now we know why Office has so many features – simply because we have so many needs. We may not have noticed many of our own needs, but Microsoft has. Let's take advantage of this and become efficient.

In the next chapter, we will see how to learn features and discover the benefits of using them. This will help you understand the plethora of features in a logical and empowering way.
