I feel like that describes my pursuit when I open a computer. Every task I complete should take as little of my time as I can. I already wrote a post talking about my Mac setup guide hosted on GitHub. Here I’ll walk you through some highlights of that guide. Specifically, we will be looking at general usage.

Alfred

Should it come as a surprise that my top application is a tool that can literally manage everything you do on your Mac. Alfred is a spotlight replacement on steroids. You can search google, start emails, search your files, and create custom workflows to fit your needs.

I feel that is an understatement. Whether you are new to them or very advanced, there is always something new to learn about them. For myself… I’ve spent ages doing research into how to make my workflow more productive. Ironic? Maybe!

This got me thinking… perhaps I should create a place to store everything that I’ve learned over the ages. Primarily as a reference for me, but also as a guide for others.
