HOW TO PROGRAM YOUR GARAGE DOOR REMOTE CONTROL
Step 1: LOCATE THE SMART/LEARN BUTTON ON THE GARAGE DOOR OPERATOR (The Operator is the motor assembly which electrically opens the door) . When looking at the garage door operator, there will be a learn button located on the back side of the device.
Step 2: PRESS THE LEARN BUTTON. After you locate the button, press it and immediately release. DO NOT HOLD THE BUTTON. When you press the learn button, the learn LED will glow steadily for 30 seconds.
Step 3: PRESS THE REMOTE CONTROL BUTTON. Within the 30 seconds, press and HOLD the button on the remote control that you wish to operate the door. Once you see the garage door opener lights blink or you hear two clicks, you may release the button.
Programming your remote is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

There are a million tools out there to sift through in order to create PRODUCTIVITY at work, or at home. Here are my top 5 ways I save time, and stay current while I'm on the move!
- Wunderlist - awesome todo list that syncs across platforms, and pcs. giving you access from your current list (and recent tasks) from your phone, laptop, work or home pc. Oh..And its free. (and you can't misplace it like a post-it)
- Evernote - Also cross-platform, evernote is perfect for creating detailed text, audio and video notes. Its a great way to keep track of multiple notebooks. Help eliminate that clutter on your desk!
- Dropbox - by far, the easiest way to share anything from anywhere. Create an account for work, and use it as an extension of your office network. Use it for moving files seemlessly between your phone, laptop, home...you get the picture.
- Mulitple Monitors - This is a hardware upgrade. If you already have a Video card capable of adding a monitor, you should be using it! If you do not have an extra connection, you can buy an external, that is USB, adapter to use multiple monitors. Check BestBuy or your favorite online store. No matter what you do in your career, you will benefit from more real estate on your desktop.
- Check Email Always - One rule I live by. Allowing my email to fill up always puts me on edge. It takes forever to sift through, and there's always a chance your going to mass delete something important. KEEP LESS THAN 10 NEW EMAILS! I check my mail everywhere. All Day. At home before I leave in the morning, my outlook stays open all day at work, and Ive allowed my phone to access our server. Ask your IT department to help you out. Then while your stopped in traffic (hopefully you're not driving) Weed out the trash, so when you get to the office, you can get right to work.
The Above mentioned software can ALL be downloaded for FREE from
www.cnet.com/downloads or whatever your favorite software site may be! Hope this list helps you streamline your performance. Check back for some other great time saving software and tips.
