... "Great, I'll call you back tomorrow then." We've all said it! Then we diligently go into GoldMine and schedule ourselves a call for tomorrow so we actually remember to call them back.
Here's a trick to make that process a little bit quicker. In the Date field when scheduling the call (But this works for any type of activity), instead of typing in a date, or using the lookup to bring up a calendar, type in 1D.

Then, magically, when you tab or click, to the next field the date will be set for 1 day from Today.

Assume, then, that you want to schedule the activity 2 days from now, well, just type in 2D, for 3 days 3D.
D works for Days, W for Weeks, and M for Months. So to schedule something 2 months from now, Just 2M!
