Saved time is worth the time

Figuring out how to use the “find & replace tool” on Google Docs can save you a lot of time.

So can the “batch edit tool” in your graphics editing program.

Or any one of the numerous applets on IFTTT, or the workflows in Zapier.

Better to waste (a little) time figuring out a tool that saves time, than waste a lot time not using a time-saving tool when one exists.

If a shortcut does exist, take it.
