3 posts you might’ve missed

#1

Do we have any executive assistant readers who are also parents?

*Note to self: that would be a good survey question… 🤔

#2

Adm_Hawthorne: I usually don't mind. However, it irks me to no end when my executive tells someone he can absolutely do a thing the same day or next at a certain time, and he is completely booked up for at least the next two weeks.

overthebridge65: I actually enjoy it😊 its probably why I liked playing Tetris so much 😂.

1 Tech Tip

💻 3 useful browser shortcuts

Following up on last week's post about navigating between browser windows and tabs, here are three more shortcuts to help streamline your browsing:

⚡ Shortcut #1: Open a new window

1) Have your browser open

2) Press cmd (⌘) and N on Mac or Ctrl and N on PC

⚡ Shortcut #2: Open a new tab

1) In your browser window

2) Press cmd (⌘) and T on Mac or Ctrl and T on PC

⚡ Shortcut #3: Close a tab

1) On the tab you want to close

2) Press cmd (⌘) and W on Mac or Ctrl and W on PC

Tip: Think "N" for New window, "T" for Tab, and "W" for close (or "wipe away").

To see these shortcuts in action, check out the attached video.

What browser shortcuts do you use most often? 😎
