It took me a while, but I learned a great lesson today. The teachers were Google Profiles and my friend Ben Elias.
I was working on my Google Profile (one for myself and I created one for the business). (I really don't know if this is going to help with curing my SEO obsession.) For some reason, Chrome (my previous browser of choice - I recently switched back to Firefox. But back to the story... I was inputting tons of text with hyperlinks. More specifically, I was copying paragraphs of text from different pages from the DVD Your Memories website. For some reason, every time I went to look at the preview of my profile, or even if I saved my profile, many of the sections would be lost and I would have to start all over again. Each time I wasted about 30 minutes. Obviously this was becoming highly frustrating (not to mention that at one point Ben brought me over a beer and as I opened it, it somehow exploded all over the desk and my new laptop).
If you know me, I'm all about efficiency. I devoted two months of my life to learning the GTD (Getting Things Done) systems and "life hacking." I hate to waste time. Now, whenever I'm filling out a web form, I will type it up first in Microsoft Word, and then copy and paste it into the web form. I can't tell you what a time-saver this is. I don't recommend adding the hyperlinks inside of word because it usually won't carry over into the web form.
