Resolutions for Lawyers, Day 15

I know, I’m getting behind on my resolutions.  Once you see the big announcement later today, I hope you’ll understand.  Anyway, here is the first in a flurry of resolutions between now and Christmas:

Pick the three computer programs you use the most (or should use the most), and learn how to use them better.  Set aside an hour per week to spend reading the manuals and playing around with the software.  Better yet, get a “Dummies” book and read it through.  You will be amazed at the amount of time you can save just learning the in’s and out’s of most computer programs.  You would also be wise to make the rest of your office (especially staff) do the same thing.

For me, the three programs I vow to spend more time with this year are Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft OneNote, and MindManager.  Oh, and I will learn to use ActiveWords to get better at each.
