1. Communication Tip – Lovely Meeting You

Perhaps the single most important thing you can do the day after meeting someone – be it on a plane, while waiting in line or at a business or networking event – is to send a quick note, telephone (if appropriate) or email (if you really don’t have the time). This will catapult you in front of the crowd as very few people do it.

This is one tip from my 101 Quick Tips Effective Communication eBook

3. 15 things you didn’t know your iPhone headphones could do.

Those infamous white headphones are capable of a lot more than you think. Here are 5 things your headphones can do (for the other 10, click here)
1. To take a photo, press either volume button
2. Free up your hands on a phone call by using your headphones and talking into the built-in microphone.
3. To answer a call, press the center button once and to hang up, press the center button again
4. To answer a second incoming call and to keep the first caller on hold, press the center button once OR to end one call and switch to the second call, press and hold the center button for about two seconds.
5. To skip to the next song, press the center button twice.

4. Gmail Tip – Tasks

You can create a task from an email. From Gmail’s More Actions menu, click Add To Tasks. If you have keyboard shortcuts enabled, you can use Shift+t instead.

5. Wellbeing Tip – Listen to your body:

Often we think more work equals higher productivity. But sometimes a little break in mental or physical activity can be just what we need to keep our productivity flowing throughout the day.

You can do this by listening to your ‘Ultradian rhythms’. Without getting into too much detail, your ultradian rhythms are natural body cycles that occur through the day every 90-120 minutes where the mind and body give us clues signaling the need for rest and a change in physical or mental activity. Ignoring these signals may lead to fatigue, stress and you guessed it, decreased productivity. Therefore every hour or two throughout the day, when you feel yourself starting to yawn, get tired or losing concentration, take a break and make time for rejuvenation and awakening. This could be done by simply standing up and having a quick stretch on the spot, going for a short walk (even just to the bathroom) or going to the kitchen for a quick glass of water.

Don’t forget our small group customised in-house training option. Call 64 27 575 5359 or email me for a quote debbie@debbiespeaks.com
