#Textexpander review full#

In addition to full emails, to make your writing process quicker and more flexible, you can also store those super common sentences you include in almost every single email.

I use this mostly for email writing, but it works for many other tasks too: posting on social media, inserting code snippets to WordPress, and so forth! One of the best I’ve used so far – and the topic of today’s post – is TextExpander.

There are several pieces of software like this on the market for different budgets and needs. This fantastic hack allows me to write in just a couple of seconds a full email that otherwise would take me 5 minutes. To save me some of that precious time and to improve my productivity, since 2017 I have been using a text expander software. Many of those emails tend to be quite repetitive too. Replying to every single one of these emails, as you can imagine, may take me a good couple of hours I could otherwise spend on other tasks. PMs are in constant contact not only with clients and work colleagues, but also with linguists and other suppliers. Still, on some days I may easily find myself clicking the ‘Send’ button more than 20 times.Īs a project manager, on the other hand, having 121 new emails in my inbox often means it’s been a relatively quiet day. In 2015, DMR estimated that the average number of emails an office worker received each day was a staggering 121.Īs a freelance translator and interpreter, my numbers have never reached such a level. Of course you could do the more grown up thing and ignore messages that you don’t think deserve a custom response, that is something I’m trying to get better at.It’s a well-known fact we spend a considerable chunk of our time typing emails nowadays. You could copy and paste from a text file, or use any number of different text replacement tools. This post was never meant to be about TextExpander. With TextExpander I can type recruiterno or outsourceno and they will get replaced with the aforementioned snippets.

I have a TextExpander review if you want to read more. So much so that I’m an affiliate of theirs (and that is an affiliate link). The tool I use to quickly have access to these snippets is TextExpander, I really, really, recommend it. I’m low-key asking the outsourcer to send us work, which as of the time of writing has resulted in 0 leads, but it takes me seconds to reply. The easiest way to stay in touch if we were to change our offering to include outsourcing is check out our site or LinkedIn If any of your clients need something like this we’d be happy to chat more. We’re a small development company working in the UK, mainly on Ruby on Rails projects and doing CTO/Tech Lead style consulting. We aren’t looking to outsource any of our development tasks at present and expanding to do so isn’t on our radar. This has always made me smile because 90% of the time they are asking us to give them the work that we would otherwise be doing. I don’t know if this is a symptom of whatever titles I’ve earned over the years, but more and more I’m getting messages from companies looking to enable offshoring or nearshoring for us. I could have the content of the link as the body copy of the reply, but in previous iterations of that page we had a way for recruiters to sign up to a mailing list to be told when we were looking for work. My default response to these messages is: The problem is the vast majority have either missed that I’m a contractor, or have some stipulation that doesn’t work for me. The majority of recruiter messages I get are at least semi-targeted. There are lots of terrible recruiters out there, just like there are lots of terrible developers (it is almost like people can be terrible, regardless of the job they do). I know there is a running joke about recruiters and LinkedIn.

I tweak these often, I will try and remember to update this post when I do. I wanted to share those responses with you in case they help you.

It is not hyperbole to say that at least 90% of my direct messages on LinkedIn can be replied to with two stock responses.
