Never have a “where did I park the car” moment again!!! Have you ever jumped out of your car, distracted, and walked away? Then later, scratch your head with “OMG, where did I park the car”? I hate to mention how many times I do this, especially at Auckland airport!

Next time, take a moment after switching off your ignition. Open Google Maps to save where you parked your car.

Tap the blue dot that shows your current location. It opens a simple blue menu with the incredibly useful “Save your parking” option. Tap it. Done! BTW you’ll also have the option to Share your location and See nearby places.

If you want to add extra info such as what garage level you’re in; tap the white letters “Parking location” at the bottom of the screen.

If you don’t have the budget to send staff on courses or bring someone in; here’s a clever idea.

Why not grab one of my recorded 30 minute webinars that contain non-stop learning points? Play for staff in the entirety (quick tip how-to learning point after learning point) or play a small portion in each weekly meeting, then discuss implementation.

Five weeks and counting til the Christmas holiday and vacation season is upon us.

Did you know you can create a secret and private Facebook Group to share your holiday experience with extended family and selected friends?

You’ll have the advantage of:

1. Only those invited to join (you enter their email address) will know it exists.
2. Your posts and photos will only be seen by them (your members)
3. You can email members
4. You can upload documents and files
5. Fully interactive

The benefit of using Facebook instead of simply uploading photos to a cloud file storage location (like Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive or OneDrive) is the ability to chat, post and interact rather than simply having a memory stick in the air.

To create your Secret, Closed Group simply go to your Facebook Profile. On the right side of the blue ribbon across the top you’ll see the word Create (next to Home). Click create, select Group. A box opens. licking the dropdown arrow will bring up your choice of the three typed of groups. You’ll select the third, Secret.

Look at the tiny icon next to the arrow in this image. In the Data Ribbon, how would you know what a diamond level feature was hiding here?

Do you ever have the problem of needing to remove duplicate details in an Excel spreadsheet? People with the same email address? The same person entered several times? You can immediately remove the duplicates with a click.

Sort your list by email address for example,Hit the icon and select the columns to base the removal on in the pop-up list.

To share this tip, I’m redfaced in admitting to being a bit slow on the uptake. There’s just so much to know about the phones. Don’t you think a workshop on getting better value and use out of your smartphones would be a great idea?!!!

I have a Samsung Galaxy 8. Yesterday, with the camera on, I accidently swiped right. Low and behold the different camera options appeared (hyper lapse, slow motion, panorama, etc). What did I do? I swiped left next. Ahhh. The editing options appeared. Swiped up and it changed to Selfie Mode. Swiped down and returned to rear camera. On your smartphones, you’ll have the left and right swipe features at the very least. Go on – try it!!!!
