What’s the most time-saving habit you’ve picked up? We are asking e14 in our Join, Share & Win Competition

E14Alice

A new month means a new AskE14!

Engineers, makers, and problem‑solvers are always finding smarter ways to work. From optimising workflows to automating repetitive tasks, small habits can add up to serious time savings.

This month, AskE14 is all about sharing the habits that help you work more efficiently, whether you’re designing, prototyping, debugging, documenting, or managing projects.

Time for the question:

What’s the most time-saving habit you’ve picked up? 

Time is a valuable resource in engineering. A simple habit — like better version control, smarter test setups, or clearer documentation. This can save hours down the line.

    LTspice for discrete circuits and ModelSim for VHDL design. 
    And then there is QSpice which claims to be able to simulate digital (C, VHDL) and discrete components in the same design, but I did not have time to try it out properly.

    And for simple stuff there is always a handheld calculator and Brain1.0

    I've been doing some simulations in LTSpice lately, and it's made so much easier and faster to test stuff out. They also help me figure out if something works or not before even hitting the breadboard so I agree!

    LT Spice is one of very few things which is both good and free. It does rather push you towards the Analog Devices part for any given job (assuming they make one) because it only includes ready to use models for their chips (although you can use spice models from other manufacturers with a little bit of effort (although they don't always work)).
