how often do you use Actions?

It really depends on what I want to do whether or not I use actions. I guess on average I would say that I used them about 10-12 times per month. I use them for certain drop shadows and I also use them to tear paper. I have a lot of actions that I've not used as well. I've never, however, gotten brave enough to make my own action, I much prefer to just go through the steps myself on something that I am doing to ensure that I get the result that I want each and every time.
