Good Annotations Will Help You Look Like a Pro in the Workplace

Good Annotations is a tool you don’t know you need until you try it out.

When the coronavirus swept the globe, I doubled down on my passion projects. I published 300+ stories on Medium, founded 2 Minute Madness, and took on six full-time clients for my digital marketing services. I’m also venturing into stock photos on Unsplash and testing out podcasts and other types of online content.

My work has spread wide and far, and organizing my desktop has turned into a nightmare.

I’d have to delete a full desktop of random screenshots every other day, and I’d have no clue why those screens were even there in the first place.

Create less friction in your life if you wish to turn your ideas into reality.

Then, I picked up on Jeff Bezos's interview, where he explained how Amazon became such a huge corporation, and it all revolved around a simple idea.

Create less friction if you want to make something happen, or more friction if you don’t want it to happen.

The amount of friction is essential for your goals.

Focus on friction.

If you want to eat less sugar, place the cookies at the top shelf. If you want to read more books, buy a kindle and fill the library with exciting titles. If you want to stay off social media, create a daily use limit. Morning exercise? Place the yoga mat next to your bed.

If you want to accomplish more stuff on your computer, smoothen up your workflow.

Nothing is more unsatisfying than when you have to lose an hour into just trying to start work.

How many times had a writer had to deal with issues that are not writing? Choosing the image? Leaving notes? Broken online forms? Messy files and desktops?

Unnecessary long routes create unsatisfying results.

More friction creates a longer path to your goals. Less friction creates more space to focus on achieving your goals.

The concept sounds easy, but most people never actually think about it this way.

Make it easier on yourself for things you wish to accomplish and harder for grueling stuff you want to tone down.

I discovered Good Annotations following this mindset.

Good Annotations gives you a frictionless way to label, edit, and add text to your screenshots.

Taking screenshots on your phone is easy for most users, but doing the same on your computer is a whole different ball game.

ALT+PrtScn and CMD+Shift+3 are only good enough to place a screenshot somewhere on your computer. Then you need separate software to edit the image, and suddenly it’s a 20min task, and you can feel the frustration trickling down your spine.

Annotating a simple image shouldn't take that long.

Deturs from your goals can ruin your whole experience. How can you reach the Flow state while putting out technical fires on your computer? I can’t do it, and probably most other people can’t either.

Time spent on detours and unimportant tasks is the time lost from building your goals, dreams, and life.

You can’t run a business if you don’t know how to create less friction in your life.

• The more organized the workflow, the faster you finish work.
• The more time you spend on writing, the more writing you’re producing.
• The more time you spend reading, the more books you’re going to read.
• The more startups you create, the more business ventures you have.

With Good Annotations, you can create well-organized screenshots, add notes, and include all the tips you want to share with your team.

The better-organized workflow, the greater the chance of success.
