This is a shortcut for using the Format Painter icon, when you want to use the font style, size etc in another location, select the text you want and use this combination to copy it, when you want to copy the layout only place your cursor at the start of the paragraph.

Tips & Tricks - CTRL + H

Like CTRL + F to find words, this one allows you to "FIND & REPLACE" words in a document. If you are working within Word you can use this combination to replace the text with something else (or nothing if you prefer). If you used Chat GPT and have various words with a Z coming up, you can use "Find & Replace" search one word at a time, and replace that Z with a S! When you are replacing a whole word, you can do all instances at once (I still prefer to do them individually).

It's the end of the week and you've worked long hours to keep up (maybe that isn't even making a dent), and the week just flew by once again.

One minute it was Tuesday and then you blinked and suddenly it's Friday afternoon!

You don't need to wear all the hats as a business owner. Outsource! Delegate!

No idea where to start? Send me a message and we can have a chat.

This quote seems fitting for the time of year. Just a little bit accurate 😴

Tips & Tricks - ALT + TAB

This combination allows you to rotate between open applications, let's say you need to change from your browser to Word or another open application, this will let you preview the options without fumbling through them all with the mouse. Hold down ALT then push TAB to switch between the options, if you want to be super onto it, you can use SHIFT + ALT + TAB and it will do the same in reverse.

The Christmas countdown is on⛄️ Not that anyone is counting right 🤪
There's always a few things to plan and action in the lead up to Christmas - I'm still trying to get my head around 6 weeks of school holidays 😬
Between organising presents, wrapping them, booking and planning time away, scheduling care for kids as required if you are busy with work until closer to the day. Then you have to plan and prepare for the actual day itself.
But don't forget to plan for your business!
Are you taking time off over the break?
Have you set your dates that you will be uncontactable?
Prepared for a lower income over the break and ensuring you are covering costs?
🎄Remember your out of office to notify your existing and potential customers of your closure dates. 🎄

When was the last time you reviewed your suppliers?

Review pricing to ensure you are getting a good rate, there may be new and improved products to take advantage of in the process.

Sometimes a change in supplier is needed to meet any changing needs within your business, or to get a better rate.

Got to love a bit of client feedback, this one is for a quick document editing job that came through from a new local client.

He was blown away that it only took me an hour.
