This Chrome extension saved me hours each week

The simple shortcut tool I wish I'd found years ago...

Hey there,

Life's too short to waste time typing the same things over and over again.

As someone who is always looking to make things easier, I pay close attention to everything I do that is either redundant or duplicative. One area I normalized for years was the frequent requests for info like my email address, calendar links, templates, etc., etc. These repetitive tasks might seem small, but they add up to hours of lost time each week - and I knew there had to be a better way.

Today I'm sharing a Chrome extension that has changed how I handle these types of requests:

  • Create custom shortcuts for frequently used information

  • Access templates instantly in any application

  • Reclaim precious time with minimal setup

Let me show you how this works.
