041 The One with Your Nerdy Best Friend
b'
I don\\u2019t have time to do the things I need to do! Ever heard this? I\\u2019m sure you\\u2019ve not just heard it, you\\u2019ve said it! And you probably heard someone tell you to work smarter not harder. This advice sounds great, but how do you do it? What is \\u201cworking smarter?
I say working smarter is letting someone or something do your work for you. Think of how long calculations used to take in the dawn of the space program. Now how long do they take? The equations are solved almost instantly because of technology. So, our question is how do we let technology work for us thereby making us smarter workers? Well, that is today\\u2019s show, we are going to learn how to find repeatable tasks that technology can do for us; freeing us up to do other things. Pretty smart, huh?
Our guest today is my Nerdy Best Friend, Beth Ziesenis. Beth makes a career out of finding technology such as apps to do the work we shouldn\\u2019t be doing. Beth was a speaker at the Association of Water Technologies 2017 Convention. She has also written several books and appeared on other podcasts and programs. Beth has personally helped me use technology to make the most general of tasks easier to manage (like email.) I have no doubt that Beth will be your new Nerdy Best Friend too. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Beth Ziesenis.
