AutoComplete : A feature that speeds your typing and lessens the likelihood of errors; if the first few characters you type in a cell match an existing entry in the column, Excel fills in the remaining characters for you. Fortunately, you can disable or enable AutoComplete whenever you like.

Automation: Automation describes a wide range of technologies that reduce human intervention in processes, mainly by predetermining decision criteria, subprocess relationships, and related actions, as well as embodying those predeterminations in machines.

Capacity: The amount of time you have to get things done – the amount of time in a day thatyou’re willing and able to work.

Efficiency: Efficiency is the often measurable ability to avoid making mistakes or wasting materials, energy, efforts, money, and time while performing a task. In a more general sense, it is the ability to do things well, successfully, and without waste.

Keyboard Shortcut: A keyboard shortcut is a series of one or several keys that invoke a software program to perform a preprogrammed action. This action may be part of the standard functionality of the operating system or application program, or it may have been written by the user in a scripting language.

Overtime: Overtime is time and a half of what an employee earns for every hour worked over 40 in a workweek. The FLSA salary threshold is the minimum salary employers must pay employees for them to be exempt from overtime wages.

Productivity: The total amount of outputs you produce. It can be expressed as a total amount or a rate. It is the effect, not the cause.

Waste: The amount of capacity time you spend that is not productive (directly or indirectly).This often includes work that is not relevant, whether intentional or not.

Felt he may have been rushed a little toward the end. But even so, very well done. I do like that he had his camera on so it was easier to pay attention. When cameras are off, there is more of a disconnection.
