Don’t use auto-correct

Retype it instead.

I know, it’s inconvenient. Auto-correct is faster at fixing your spelling mistakes. But it’s a short-term fix.

What if you learn how to spell ‘entrepreneur’, correctly instead? What if you took a moment to look up the definition of the word you always misuse?

We take many shortcuts, out of convenience, to save us time. But what does not knowing, not understanding, cost us in the long run?

After a lifetime of shortcuts (of many kinds), will we be any further ahead?

What if instead, we pause, we learn, and address the problem the moment we discover it? [This goes beyond spelling].

We could make a short-term decision, for a long-term fix.
