The world is slowing down during this COVID-19 pandemic.  Wall Street is being hit hard.  People are no longer going out.  We’re told to quarantine or self-isolate and not engage in groups.

You can bet there’s one group that’s not slowing down at all.

As a business owner today, you are now facing unprecedented challenges to help deal with the Coronavirus pandemic.  You are asked to self-isolate and practice social distancing to “flatten the curve.”  You are asked to allow your employees to work from home to reduce possible exposure and slow the spread of COVID-19.

These are all reasonable requests.

It’s a busy week…you’re on the road and slammed with meetings. There won’t be much downtime between obligations, and you need to get creative about working on the go. Starbucks, hotel business centers and lobbies, and co-working office spaces are all prime candidates for work.

Gone are the days when packing for your vacation meant simply grabbing some clothes from the closet and toiletries from the bathroom, tossing them in a suitcase and hitting the road. These days, more time and thought are given to what technology gadgets are needed for a trip than about what to wear.

Are you meeting someone for lunch and have a little extra time on your hands before your lunch buddy arrives? Here are some tech tools that can keep you productive even when you’re not in the office.

Smartphone – Today’s smartphones can easily do double duty as your office phone and lightweight internet-enabled PC in a pinch.

You might recall the 1992 song, “My Grown-Up Christmas Wish” written by David Foster and his then wife, Linda. Natalie Cole was the first to record this holiday standard, but it was Amy Grant’s version that became the big hit. The lyrics showcase an adult writing to Santa and asking for much more than material things: the end to war, friendship for all and love that would never end.

While you’re decking the halls, why not protect them at the same time! We talk a lot about business security and how the internet can spell trouble if the right precautions aren’t put into place. As we swing into the holidays this year with Christmas and the new year right around the corner, it’s worth considering your home network.
