No Tech to Pro Tech A podcast for people who want to overcome technology intimidation by Stephanie Ciardi

Have you ever planned an event and found it difficult to keep track of all the information you need? Maybe you had your guest list written on a piece of paper and had to manually total up your guests every time you got an RSVP. Spreadsheets don’t have to be just for CPA’s or the super analytical types. You can use spreadsheets in really practical ways like keeping track of guests, food, decorations, and everything else you need to plan your event.

Are you tired of keeping your business cards on an old fashioned rolodex or just sitting in a pile on your desk? Or maybe you’re away from your desk and needed someone’s contact information but it was back at your desk in that pile of random cards? Ditch the old fashioned and cluttered ways of storing business cards and keep yours with you everywhere using Evernote.

When it comes to technology, there’s a lot of it out there. Break through the intimidation of technology and stop the drain of context switching by doing less, but better with the digital tools you use in your life.

In this episode we walk through six key benefits of using a Google Calendar to help you get more done and be more productive.

If you’re intimidated by using new technology or digital tools is it because you think the learning curve is too steep? Actually it’s probably more shallow than you realize and you can use more technology than you think you can.
