  • I got sick of loading times for Acrobat reader so ended up installing SumatraPDF for something more lightweight for general viewing. I only use Acrobat now if I'm planning to print the PDF.

  • I have a lot of repetition in my job (CAD modeller). Even just knowing keyboard shortcuts & setting up shortcuts for frequently used operations can easily net me 5 seconds per operation. I want to spend my energy on solving the task at hand, not on how to use the tool in the moment. I don't want to move the mouse away from the work area if I can help it.

    Maybe not as frequent 5 per day - but scripts for really bottom of the barrel stuff:

    • Cycle thru all currently open drawing documents, zoom to full page and force save.
      • zoom out ensures drawing can be identified from document thumbnail.
      • the software is known to crash, especially editing drawings.
      • easy 10mins duplicated work saved.
    • Printing all open drawings out to the office printer in order with a delay between them, so i don't spend the next 20 minutes manually sorting the drawing prints.
      • printers don't always print in incoming order, some documents take longer to process.
    • find/replace for text notes
      • the software doesn't have that feature.

  • I'll do it for things that don't seem like it will save much, but because it was such an infrequent task I would forget how all the cogs worked when it needed to be done again, and what pitfalls to avoid. So it's not just direct time saved, but also increasing reliability.
