Cutting Out "Dead Time"

In a constant effort to keep my videos shorter, I recently tried cutting out dead time during the editing process using the "scissor tool" in Camtasia. I might find a section of the video where I'm typing something, or waiting for a webpage to load or whatever. If I'm not saying something during that time, I cut it out. These wasted seconds add up, and I say get 'em outta there!
