Stay at home toolkit
Your working from home online essentials
Hi All, Clint here from theartistree website development and Google services.
With a changing day to day regarding both work and a decent lack of our usual ‘Australian’ social behaviour on the weekends, I wanted to do my bit in assisting those adapting to a work life balance and provide a short list of handy online tools. Many of you will already be aware of these services, but for those that aren’t, here are my fav’s conveniently listed under each general category.
If anyone out there needs online assistance please don’t hesitate to get in touch. My details are below.
Be well, stay safe, support all and be strong to lead by example.
Communication
Zoom video conferencing (Free account available)
Most of you will already be aware of this great communication tool for online conferencing. It’s great for keeping in touch for work and personal communication. If you’re looking to provide some services from a distance, get creative with Zoom and keep offering your one on one services running while in two different locations. Fitness, health, professional services and general consultations can still be conducted using Zoom.

DropBox file storage and sharing (Free account available)
DropBox is a must to bring your work home to store files privately so only you have access, and/or share important documents between locations, with clients and coworkers.

HighTail file sending service for large file sending (Free account available)
With everyone working at home and local bandwidth causing problems with programs slowing down online services, normal email can sometime take a while to upload attachments or freeze all together. You can either send directly from HighTail with any size file attachment, or more important very large attachments, or send to yourself to then use the file download link to pass onto clients. I generally send files to myself, copy the file download link after sending, and put it into a client email so all looks professional and importantly self branded. There are heaps of extra features and worth checking out to use at home or in the office.

Instagram social media marketing (Free account available)
Are you stuck at home with a product or service and need to get the message out there? Just take a picture, nominate a price and wait for your target market to call through. At the very least keep building your profile online with direct links to your website.

Same reasons as above.

Accounts
Toggl time keeping (Free account available)
If your employer is wanting you to track your time at home and or you’re self employed and want to know where you’re spending your time on clients and/or greater projects, Toggl is a great free tool for everyone involved. If your a sole trader contracting your services, this tool may even help you find you’re only making a small amount on some projects and it will ultimately help you to be more aware of all the little things that take up time if tracked properly to start charging properly. Perfect for charging properly and time management. You can export reports for jobs, or tasks, to copy the into your invoices and more. You could even suggest that by tracking your time correctly you could boost your annual income substantially and keep focused on the better paying tasks.

Xero accounting platform (Paid account available)
Xero has a second to none repeating invoicing feature and user friendly interface. I’ve used all the accounting platforms, setup many payment gateways, as well as conducting business in many environments to want to charge efficiently, and Xero is easily the best platform for any size business. Plus your bookkeeper and accountant will love you for it, and hopefully charge you less for their time when it comes to tax responsibilities. Correct me if I’m wrong.

at 11 months agoJudy Garland’in son aylarını konu edinen filmin hikayesi, Londra’da geçiyor. Garland’in beş hafta boyunca aralıksız devam eden The Talk of The Town isimli konser turu için yapılan hazırlık dönemini ve turu kapsayan film, oyuncu ve müzisyen Garland’in kariyer mücadelesini odağına alıyor. Ayrıca beşinci kocası olan Mickey Deans ile ilişkisini de gözler önüne seriyor. Mickey Deans’in hayatına girişiyle birlikte, Garland için her şey daha parlak görünmeye başlar. Ancak 47 yaşının 45 yılında çalıştıktan sonra, çok yorgun ve hassastır. Hollywood’a feda edilen çocukluğunun anıları ve çocuklarının yanına, eve dönme isteği Garland’ı zihnine gölge düşürmektedir. Bilindiği üzere Mickey Deans ile Judy Garland 1969 yılında evlenmişti. Filmi ise bizleri 1968 yılına götürüyor. Garland, aynı zamanda 1969 yılında yaşamını yitirmişti. Judy izle Ed Dentel
