Finding Basic Computer Help

Computers are wonderful and magical and … FRUSTRATING!  Over the years, computers have become more intuitive and in some ways, easier to use.  And many of us can’t get along without them.  A computer is becoming as essential as a phone, electricity and a car.

As long as your computer keeps humming along, everything is fine.  But, where do you turn when you hit a roadblock?  A friend or relative can sometimes get you back on track.  You might find your answer in Help and Support (Start by clicking your Start button in the lower left corner).  And there’s always Microsoft support or a Google search, if you can figure out the right search terms.  Tutorial videos are another good way to find answers and learn new computer tips and tricks.

TeachParentsTech.org is a Google site with many short videos for basic issues like how to copy and paste, change your homepage and attach a file to an email.

CommonCraft.com has many computer and Internet related videos that are very informative and entertaining.

Here’s a Common Craft video on The World Wide Web in Plain English . . .

And remember to stay safe online.

Where do you find answers to your computer questions?

Are You Still Smoking?

There are SO many reasons to quit smoking … And NO good reasons to continue. I ran across this video on Doctor Oz’s website that illustrates what happens in your lungs when you breathe in cigarette smoke . . .

My friend, Joe Weaver, author of the book “The Tao of Quitting Smoking,” listed 100 Reasons to Quit Smoking.  My top 10 from his list are here.  You’ll also find links to his site and other quit smoking resources there and here.

It’s that time of year when we’re all thinking of New Year’s Resolutions.  Some smoker’s just can’t see through their smoke.  But, if you want to take a giant leap of health, stop smoking today.  ARE YOU READY?

Do Great Work

Everything you do falls into one of three categories:

  • Bad Work
  • Good Work
  • Great Work

Can you tell the difference?

I think we all need to do some of the Bad Work – The mindless, never-ending tasks that take up at least part of our day.  They need to be done, so you either have to do them, not do them or hire someone to do them.  Things like routine office tasks, paying the bills, vacuuming and shopping.

The Good Work is productive and rewarding.  It’s getting the job done.  You can spend all day – Every day – Doing Good Work.  There is a sense of accomplishment in doing Good Work, but, it’s not moving you forward.

Great Work is exciting and scary.  It means stepping out of your comfort zone.  THIS is where you want to spend your time.  It’s where the great minds work.

Here’s a fast paced video that I highly recommend watching …
