Gmail plus Calendar and Docs
I’m a little late in learning this but I thought I’d share anyway - I doubt I’m the only one who doesn’t catch things instantly!
So, I use Gmail for my catchall email account. The email for my virtual assistant business is through my host (laurie AT halosecretarialservices DOT com) but is all forwarded to my Gmail account. I simply find Gmail to be easy to access and easy to work with. It also then gives me the option of chat and use in my iGoogle homepage.
Today I realized that I can fully integrate my google calendar and docs into my Gmail left sidebar - wow! So much easier than having to open a separate tab. I simply went into my gmail settings, clicked on labs and then enabled both google calendar and docs to show up! I also moved my chat and labels to the right side bar to make everything more visible.
Now I can see my schedule and plan my daily tasks much more efficiently. I always schedule time for client tasks and my own marketing plans in my google calendar, with popup reminders, which definitely increases my productivity. And the more organized I am, the more time I have to devote to my clients’s needs!
Hope this helps you other virtual assistants and other business owners!
