This is the second article in a two-part series on productivity apps for admins by Julie Perrine. TimeZone Converter Apps: Timezones can be tricky, especially if you or your executive is working virtually from another state or country. I use the TimeZone Converter by TimeAndDate. The solution?
“For example, the VA is most often in a different timezone than my employee, and my employee is expected to work only during the day. However, I personally have been pleasantly surprised with how VAs do not mind shifting their schedules or working accordingly to our timezone,” she says.
I have a little mantra that often serves as the foundation for my strategies — and it’s all about “capturing hearts and minds one at a time.” That was pretty revolutionary at the time, but it has worked out well. The first layer is the most critical and does not require significant cost or time investment.
Take one of your most popular articles, or if you have written several articles around the same theme use those, and turn the content into a teleclass. Also consider the different timezones too.

And I know you’ve got up to 50,000 gyms and just massive global network. Frank Cottle [ 00:15:36 ]: To the we’ll do an article after the podcast. I was traveling, so different timezone, different pillows and et cetera, and I had to make a choice to sleep 1 hour more or go to the gym. I slept 1 hour more.
This is where an assistant network can come in handy. I often reach out to my network to get answers to problems that come up at the office or just to lend a sympathetic ear. IAAP has a magazine that comes with being a member called OfficePro and it has very useful articles.
I just recently read an article on it and was surprised when I really paid attention to the messages I was sending myself that some of them were negative. I think everyone feels insecure at one time or another, but I find you cant let insecurity get the best of you. This is the time you need a lot of positive self talk.
I wrote the article The Art of Minute Taking and I had only taken minutes a few times about 25 years ago. From writing that article I had confidence to take a job that required me taking minutes and it has turned out fine. I have written many articles on my blog on subjects that I knew nothing about. How did I do it?
There is usually an answer if you look for it or speak to others on your team or in your network of acquaintances. Great article. This article was just itching for me to write it and I couldnt resist. What an amazing, inspiring article. It may seem like a roadblock, but is it really? January 26, 2009 Patricia Robb said.

Networking within your own company is a great way to keep your current job or secure a future one. I read an interesting article on what management can do to prevent lay offs. Have that information so you can be a problem solver, not just standing around wondering what to do along with everyone else. Be the person who finds solutions.
I wrote an article awhile back called On the Outside Looking In. I went through a time of looking for a job and it seemed I wasnt getting anywhere. Finally I landed a job and have been working ever since, but I still recall that time of not working. I have never regretted any of my employment situations. We are not an island.
What is simple to me, may not be to others, so I decided a blog article on things I have picked up in the various programs may be helpful to somebody out there and it was worth sharing. With new technology I think we are all overwhelmed at times as to how to make certain things work and it can be frustrating. I love shortcuts!

I have removed the Google Ads as I thought it took up a lot of space and wasnt very useful and included the index of my articles instead so you could easily scroll through and see a list of the articles that have been posted by date. I hope this will be more user friendly and accessible to everyone.
If I read an article from a company with good tips and things that I can use and they have their weblink attached, I will normally check out what else they have to offer and will feel more comfortable buying their product or service because they have already proven to me that they have expertise in that area.
