You can now work 4 days a week instead of 5! After our intensive 3 hour course we guarantee* you will be able to work 20% faster using your Mac, so by the end of Thursday you’ll have done a week’s work! Take Friday off to watch daytime TV in your underwear or go hiking in an Alpine forest, and anything in between.

In the second in a series of Ninja Skills workshops the Doctor Logic team will teach you simple tricks to do things faster and more efficiently on your Mac. The course will be divided into the following sections:

Mitigate Your Mouse

Still using a mouse like a baby? You can use your keyboard to do pretty much anything on the Mac. From simple application switching to hard-core hacker-style text editing: in this segment we demonstrate the power of the keyboard with the “Dr Logic Mouse vs. Keyboard Challenge”. We teach you some of the most powerful shortcuts, show you drills to improve your performance and show you how to create custom shortcuts for the stuff you do all the time.

Amazing Automation

Mac OS X includes Automator and Applescript to make boring, repetitive tasks happen at the press of a button. We introduce you to the technology and help you start creating scripts for your most tiresome chores with (almost) no typing required.

Awesome Applications

There are hundreds of built-in tools and 3rd party programs for Mac OS X that help you get things done faster. One of our favourites is Backdrop: a simple, free application that blacks out everything except the window you’re working in. A simple way to eliminate distractions and focus your mind. In this section we give you a CD with demo versions of all the best productivity applications and demonstrate their awesomeness.

Cool Customisations, Perfect Preferences, Terrific Tweaks, Miraculous Maintenance and Out-of-this-World Optimisations

In this section we help you customise your working environment and set your preferences to achieve enlightenment. We show you how to maintain and optimise your system and explain what causes system slowdowns.

Please note: this is a boot camp style course: attendees must be in peak physical condition and are advised to wear appropriate clothing.

The course will cost £175 and includes refreshments, unlimited biscuits and a signed Dr Logic mouse mat! A computer, pens and notepads will also be provided so there’s no need to bring your laptop.

Places are very limited, and the closing date for registration is 31st October, so register now to avoid disappointment!
