I don't know if this has been recommended, but on three of my cameras, I just adjust the EV (exposure value). For example, when there's extremely bright sun at the ground level with the average metering setting, I'll often change it to minus point 3 or minus point 7. When I quickly switch to taking a photo of a bird in flight, I might change it to plus point 3 or plus point 7. I do that rather than use the spot meter.
I'm always checking each photo after I take them, and adjusting the exposure. It's just fast for me to do it that way.
