Terence's Jottings

If a disaster hit your business, would you be prepared? Do you have a Business Continuity Plan?

A Gartner research found that 50 percent of all businesses fail after experiencing a major disruption. From an earthquake to stolen laptop every business is at risk, and the need to manage it has nothing to do with your size.

Businesses that manage risk effectively stay viable and profitable in the long term. Part of business continuity planning is the assessment of the likely risks that can occur, and the measure of their impact on your business. From this risk analysis you can determine priorities and cost effectiveness.

Time Management

  1. You can use your time more effectively if you know where it is going. Keep a “Time List”. For a minimum of five days, as you complete each major task or spend time, log it in on your list. Include date, time and what you did, the length of time it took, and the rating:

    A = Essential, B = Necessary, C = Trivial
    and D = No Value.

    Analyse the results. Nearly always you will find chunks of time wasters you can control and minimise.

  2. Make things important enough and they will get done. Work smarter by identifying what is important.

Technical Tips

Microsoft Excel

Often, the information you have in worksheet will not fit on a single page, Excel automatically breaks it up at row or column boundaries, and prints on multiple pages. However you can control the order in which Excel prints pages.

You can control whether the information beneath page one is printed as page two, or the information to the right of page one is printed as page two by following these steps:

  1. Choose File/Page Setup.

  2. Click on the Sheet tab.

  3. In the Page Order area of the dialog box, specify how you want Excel to print your pages. (As you make a selection, Excel shows graphically how your printing will occur).

  4. Click OK.

  5. Print as normal.

Microsoft Outlook

To print your calendar for an entire month:

  1. Click “Calendar”.

  2. Select File/Print.

  3. Click “Monthly Style” in the “Print Style” box.

  4. Enter the first day to print in the “Start” box and the last day in the “End” box.

  5. Click “OK” to print.

Microsoft Word

Word provides a way to quickly increase the point size of a selection.

To do this:

  1. Highlight the text whose point size you want
    to increase.

  2. Press Ctrl+] (right square bracket).

Every time you press Ctrl+], the point size of the selection will increase by one point.

To decrease the point size:

  1. Highlight the text whose point size you want
    to decrease.

  2. Press Ctrl+[ (left square bracket).

Every time you press Ctrl+[, the point size of the selection will decrease by one point.

However, you may want to exercise even more precise control over the point size, say making something 11.5 points.

In which case you must either use the Font dialog box by choosing Format/Font from the menu bar, or enter the point size in the “Font Size” window.
