A lot of my clients tend to get frustrated with their Macs and the Tech they have, but often it’s self-inflicted. In this episode, I explain what I mean and give you some tips on how to utilise your technology for the better.
I've put together some Mac Tips to help. Just click here to get them.
we all realize that time is money so why
do we waste so much time on failing
technologies that we use hi my name is
Kay I'm a tech minimalist and I simplify
technologies so you can free up your
time so what do I mean by failing
technology the thing is we have our
computers and they're supposed to help
us out I found that a lot of people
basically buy their computers and start
using it but they don't always know how
to use it properly well they know the
basics and it's a computer and this is
where I type and so on but they don't
actually have a workflow in place they
don't know where to put their files they
don't know how to organize their
calendar on contacts I have so many
clients so I ask them what's in your
agenda for instance if I'm moving a
client over from one computer to another
they basically say to me I don't have it
so what do you use why I use a paper
agenda now there are times a paper
agenda actually does work if it works
for you great but if you're putting
stuff on sticky notes and then putting
into your agenda and then moving those
notes around you don't know what's going
on right so the whole point of the
technology and actually those people
often tell me not always but often tell
me I just don't know how to do it I
don't know how to use it wouldn't it be
great to actually have it on our phones
and our computers well it's there you're
just not using it or you're not using it
correctly so if you digitize everything
you move away from your petah paper
pater paper agenda and put it digitally
into your computer you have it
everywhere now as I said there are times
that people you need to use paper
agendas and paper notes and letters etc
I understand that but the reason half
the time or more than half the time the
reason a lot of the time that people
don't use their computers is because the
computer is failing them they don't know
how to organize their data in such a
where they can just go directly to that
location get the data they need whether
it's an agenda or a letter at you know
contact whatever it is
so wasting your time on let's call it
analog data input because your computer
is failing you is the reason why you
need to get your computer in order not
to stop using it getting frustrated with
it and then move over to something else
that that kind of puts friction in place
where you not going to be able to get
anything done reliably and on time so
again yeah
there is this thing about you know time
is money I get that to a certain degree
so saving time will effectively make you
more money because you're spending that
lost time on being productive now I'm
looking around because I look lost but I
think that this is this should that this
is should be obvious and I don't
understand why I'm having to make a
video about this and the reason why I'm
making a video about this because this
last week I've had two clients you know
the third class three clients actually
have the same kind of issue they're
using analog stuff because they're
frustrated with their computer so I'm
moving them over to digital it's hard
work because people are stuck in their
ways
stuck in good way or bad way whatever
moving them over and I know that they're
going to be happier because I've done
this transformation in the past so time
is money stop wasting it on failing
technology simplify and make it work for
you anyway
