Just taking a look back at some of the time saving (dare I say, life-saving?) tips from the past little while for newbies:
Convert files all quick and painless like: If you’ve ever needed to send an image to a publication but the editor wasn’t able to open what you sent, Media-Convert.com is the place to go. It can convert images, video, documents, and even audio into different file formats so anyone can open them regardless of the computer they find themselves on.
Get alerted to changes on Web pages: If you do any competitive monitoring, or you’ve asked a reporter for a correction to a story but don’t have time to constantly check back for the change, FeedYes.com is your new best friend. You tell FeedYes to monitor a web page for changes and it alerts you via an RSS feed you subscribe to. Simple, elegant.
End your timesheet woes: Do you go nuts Monday morning trying to wrap up your timesheet before 9:00? Well, I can’t help you become a better person by telling you to finish the darn thing on Friday…but I can point you to one program that will help you have more information accessible at your fingertips for when that time comes.
BCC yourself so you never forget: Do you frequently issue ultimatums to underlings but forget to follow up? Do you constantly need to be reminded about deadlines? You need to take advantage of the Blind Carbon Copy capability of your Email client. Click the link to find out how it can help.
