Organize IT Recap: Microsoft Word, Speed Reading

March 24th 2007 Recap 0 comments

Organize IT’s weekly recap of interesting bits and pieces from this week:

  • Ever spend half your night stuck waiting at the bar to order your drinks? I am sure all you readers from the UK can vouch for how bad Friday and Saturday nights in particular are so these little tips on how to get served quickly could come in quite handy :D
  • Scott Young has written a neat post giving suggestions on how to read more quickly and includes such ideas as using a pointer and removing distractions. Having recently joined a library and doubled the amount of books I’m reading this is quite an interesting area. It’s something I’ve covered in a previous recap and I will look at going over it some more in the future.
  • Lifehacker has some good suggestions on how to make MS Word less annoying. My personal suggestion? Download OpenOffice instead!
  • I came across an interesting tool the other day called Thinking Rock. I’m not normally interested in hi-fi tools for managing my system and has such I may be going over old news. Either way I just feel it needs some mention because it looks simple and effective and I may just have to give it a go. Anybody out there tried it and have any thoughts?
