For the longest time, I have been avoiding spreadsheets. The idea of having to fill in all these boxes are kind of intimidating and I thought it was tedious. So when I did computations, I resorted to using a calculator to do everything which in my case was reliable since I checked my work 3 or 4 times. But I realized it was time consuming having to re-check my work when I could have had a computer program do it for me in a quarter of the time. Yes, I am a late bloomer and I feel like a fool actually. But hey, better late than never right?
Before, I used to make around 30 rows and 6 columns on a Word document, and everytime I needed an extra column or row I'd have to add another one. Last week, I had to make a spreadsheet with 200+ rows so I just could not be bothered to make so many and at the same time compute with a calculator! So I decided to try out the spreadsheet. It took me around 6 working days to get everything done, or an equivalent of 3 working days if I didn't have to multi-task. Imagine how long it would have taken if I did it manually. I'd go crazy PERIOD. Lol. And I just found out, I can compute hours and minutes too. I actually have more time to actually do OTHER stuff now. Life just got a whole lot easier with spreadsheets!
