I love all things high-tech and I appreciate a beautifully designed home, so it makes me feel good when I combine both. Enter the concept of 'techorating', the seamless blend of devices, services and style that will help you transform your everyday spaces and places into functional miracles.
We're all busy and expect things NOW. Thanks to services like Spotify and Netflix, we can access our entertainment anywhere, so shouldn't the same be true for the information we use every day? To help, Microsoft Office is now available as a software service - Office 365 Home Premium - so everything from your documents and family calendars, to shopping lists roam with you whether you are on a PC, phone or tablet.
Streamline your life
It's a fact that we don't always manage our time wisely, but we don't have to make big changes to make an impact. Any little tip or trick that I can share with folks to help them save time, be better organised and streamline their lives is huge. For example, use OneNote to keep a shopping list up to date and accessible on your phone. Microsoft's new Office 365 provides the right tools to be more productive and efficient by making it easier than ever to manage our projects, stay connected, organise and personalise our lives.
I'm a bicoastal entrepreneur, and I'm often working with people around the globe. As well, I'm getting married in a few months. (Might I suggest OneNote for all your wedding planning needs!) My wedding planning is even trickier because I'm not in the same state or time zone as the event. But through Skype videoconferencing - one of the great features included with an Office 365 Home Premium subscription - I've been able to view flower arrangements, table linen, cake choices and many other wedding items from anywhere.
SkyDrive gives me access to all my project content in Word, Excel, OneNote and PowerPoint, and on my smartphone, tablet, desktop and laptop, anytime and from virtually anywhere, in one location. And because Office 365 automatically saves things to SkyDrive, I'll be able to access documents from anywhere.
By using the new Word templates, my documents are clearer, more concise and visually appealing. New comments features eliminate a lot of back and forth via e-mails and phone calls. I rely on Excel for all my home remodel budgets, spreadsheets, timelines, reports and charts. SkyDrive allows me to send a link of my files to people and to set viewing and editing permissions. I love knowing my team can work together seamlessly and are always up to date with the latest information.
