DST Ends Today

Working with online entrepreneurs is something I truly LOVE doing.  Part of what I do for them is minor content editing, proofreading, etc.

The one thing that I’ve always noticed is that most business owners use Standard time (CST, EST, PST) no matter what time of the year it is.

 

After working with one of my clients for over 3-years now, she recently sent me an email asking why I changed the time designation from CST to DST.  So I sent her this response.

So for those of you who used ST all year round this is your time.  Just remember when we Spring forward, change the ST to DT.

For a quick check to make sure you can go to  TimeandDate.com.  There is also use this great Chrome extension (Figure it Out) for a quick check.  This extension is also a good way to get a quick view of all the time zones you and or your clients live or work.

To your continued success!

Tips: View Flagged Emails In Outlook

I recently became very frustrated not being able to locate my flagged messages. The reason I flag them is because they are of interest and having easy access to them is important to me.

I’m a long time use of Hotmail and from what I remember it was much easier to locate your flagged messages.

I went online and Googled a fix, but the answers were very convoluted.

So here is how to get it done if you’re having that same issue.

1) Click on the setting wheels in the top right corner

2) Select Option

Outlook Flag -1
3) In the “Customizing Outlook.com” area select Flagging

Outlook Flag -2
4) Select “Show flagged messages at the top of the inbox” option

Outlook Flag 3

5) SAVE

Check your inbox and your flagged folders will be the first things you see.

You are all set.

Would love to hear any Outlook or other tech tools tips you have.

Do you take a vacation?

A June 2014 study conducted by Gallup, one of five Microbusiness owners takes no vacation per year.   21% of these business owners took just five (5) days off per year.

Another group (20% took one to two weeks. A total of 61 percent of those who take off from work for a vacation find it very difficult to detach completely to what’s going on back in the office.   And 38% were able to disconnect completely taking three weeks or more.

Business Woman Thinking About Positive ThinkingA positive mindset allows us to handle everyday situations far better and this includes all the ups and downs. The act of positive thinking is a habit that we all want to get into. It allows us to dream about our future and better yet, take action now to make things happen!

There is no doubt that life is hard and there will be times when we need to laugh, cry and celebrate. We should allow ourselves time to express all of these emotions. We can make much better decisions when our mind is not clouded with negative thoughts. [Read more…]

Have you thought about hiring a virtual assistant but did not quite know the benefits of using a virtual vs in office assistant.

Here are some of the benefits of using a “virtual” assistant versus bringing an assistant into your home office.

  • You don’t have to share your computer, or set up a second computer, for the assistant to use. A VA uses his own equipment and computers. In addition, you don’t have to set up an extra desk in your office for an assistant. [Read more…]
