The Passionate Pursuit of Efficiency
-Productivity Tip-
 

Ever wanted to open 2 excel files in separate windows to view them side by side...

 

In Windows 7...

1.  Open your first Excel file and place it on the screen you want 

2.  Open a new Excel file from the Excel icon 

3.  The new file will open on top of the one you have already opened.  Drag it to the other screen 

4.  Drag the icon for the second Excel file INTO the new (blank) Excel document 

You should have two separate screens.

For other MS Office versions, email me for the steps.

Greetings!

Empowerment Book Cover side I'm so excited to share with you the unveiling of my new book cover for 'Opening the Doors to Empowerment'. My new pocket and eBook officially launch in September 2013, and I'm very excited. 

To me, the image of the opened front door is a metaphor that represents my belief that people are amazing and gifted with many talents, and I believe we all have a divine plan. We all have doors opening in front of us all the time, but often we lack the ability to reach out and open those doors. 

This Pocket/eBook helps readers understand whether or not they're ready to embark on a major transformation, and to zero in on the root causes that may be holding them back if they're not ready. That's the only way to eliminate the barriers and move ahead. 

To reserve your copy, email me at: Adriana@CornerStoneDynamics.com

Cheers to opening doors...Adriana

Twitter Reaction To Our Email Q?

 

Our Twitter friends were quick to respond to our question:

I often hear complaints about the daily volume of emails. Do you have any tips for handling it?

 

Feedback included:

Use filters and labels to pre-sort email. Unsubscribe from lists you don't need. Turn off social media email notifications.

Sort your emails with colours or folders and then read most important first. Name the folders by project, or group of people, or name of task.

Use "rules" feature to route emails to specific folder. Address or ignore all similar subjects/senders. Done 4 years! Great
