Thanks to the GTD Toolbox over at the GTD Times blog, I’m testing out an amazing computer navigation tool – ActiveWords.
With ActiveWords you can automate a wondrous number of repeating tasks and keystrokes:
- Substitute Text (Texter is okay for this, but buggy)
- Launch Programs
- Open Documents & Folders
- Navigate to Web Sites
- Send Email
- Open Window Settings
- Scripting (automate action sequences; PLUS and Enterprise versions)
Enter or highlight words (even just a letter or two) from any context, anywhere on your computer to trigger these custom actions. ActiveWords will even learn your navigation habits and suggest new shortcuts.
The ActiveWords Productivity Summary shows that I’ve saved an estimated $10 in just the last couple of days, based on my average hourly rate (entered in User Settings). Just while playing around and learning the program!
The one-time $49.99 price tag makes this a no-brainer when my 60-day free trial is up.
