Hey Sandy, It has nothing to do with the fabulous trip to Disney you have arranged for me and the family either (Sandy is my travel agent – and she finds great deals!) … but honestly it’s not just a reference, he’s truly on my email list!!

Hi Kathy
Love your reference to Mickey Mouse, but why so important to you at this time?

G Recorder sent me a note that it is not a function – but a good idea – so one day maybe… Screen-o-matic can record your voice and the screen, but the audio of the other party on skype does not get catptured.

G-recorder sounds cool. I use Pamela to record the audio for client meetings and would love to be able to record screen as well as an alternative to Go to Meeting and it’s expensive monthly fee.

You're welcome Denise, Skype does not have the option but there are a couple tools out there that do record skype calls - one being G-Recorder -Though I am not certain it can capture the screen share aspect. I have emailed them to ask. What is does is take the chat and audio and saves them as files directly in your gmail account.

Getting organized to work at home is one of the biggest challenges isn’t it Lisa? Best of Luck!

Thanks for bringing Skype share function to my attention. Do you know if the screen share can be recorded like the audio can be so you have a video after the session?

Use a virtual assistant! We are over double the business that we had last year at this same time and are still managing it without other employees. Saves us time and money! Still can always do better, though.

I have a skeleton daily plan in place that includes things like time every morning to do one load of laundry, have coffee, wipe down the bathrooms and take care of the pets. Doing these things first thing in the day clears my head of the domestic goddess tasks.

My best trick is spending ten minutes three times per day dealing with my email. I use the Do it, Delete it, Delegate it or Date it, (Date it is where I drag the email to my task list to be scheduled at a later date).

With my skeleton plan in place, I am able to go to my prioritized task list and fill in the empty time.

I also use Client Inquiry packaged information which keeps me from re-inventing the wheel all the time.

I am looking forward to reading others time-saver or organizational tricks and tips.

Thanks for the tip on taking a break for your own business and house chores, I am inspired to adopt a similar regime as I find it hard to allow time for my own tasks, prioritising client work whenever a choice has to be made and usually just putting things off until I have a quieter work day! I can appreciate though, as you already have, that it’s important to be organised in your own life as well as your work life! I appreciate it :)
