Last week our Day Nursery were experimenting! We looked at the book 'George's Marvellous Medicine' and had a go at making our own potions. Our explorers enjoyed practising their pouring motions and watching the 'magic' when mixing two ingredients together. Good messy fun was had by all.

5 tips to stop Cybercrime

With cybercrime on the rise, here are a few tips to help keep you safe online.

πŸ“± Choose a word and then adjust it slightly for each website. For example, if you choose 'seaside21', it would be 'goo_seaside21' for google.com, or 'fac_seaside21' for facebook.com. Makes it much more difficult for hackers to guess and use your password across multiple platforms.
πŸ“±Always click on the arrow next to the senders name to check the email address an email came from. Often the hackers will use a common 'name' but the email will be completely different, or the company name spelt wrong. Still not sure? Search the company website on google and compare the contact email. It should have the same domain name (after the @).
πŸ“± Make sure your computer security is up to date. All laptops have built in malware and virus protection now, but you may wish to add your own on top of this. Make sure you keep your computer updated as these updates contain all the new known virus protections. They happen about once a month, normally the second tues/wed for microsoft. Chrome can be more often.
πŸ“± Have you done a quiz on facebook, a 'what's your superhero name' or 'which dog are you'? These can be used by hackers to get the information they need to hack your accounts. Ensure your social media settings are set to private and be mindful of the questions you are answering. Your mothers maiden name will not tell you your superhero name!
πŸ“± Check the web address. Any sites that you use a password for should have https:// at the start. The S at the end of http stands for 'Secure'. If it is not there, don't enter your details and double check you are on the right website.

De-clutter your digital desktop #4 - Organise your web browser

Bookmarks are your friend, but only when they are accessible and organised. Make sure all your saved bookmarks on you bar (under the web address) are all ones you visit regularly. If you have a lot of them, get rid of the text to fit more on, you probably recognise the logos anyway if you are on the sites all the time. For the bookmarks you do not use regularly, organised them into bookmark folders to make them easier to access.
Everyone has heard of cookies, and no I do not mean the chocolate chip kind. Every month, make sure you delete any unnecessary information on your browser - including cookies and browsing data. This can increase your security and create additional memory on your PC.

Make use of extensions to make your life easier. These can be extensions that increase productivity with other applications, spelling and grammar checks or password memories.

De-clutter your digital desktop #3 - Check you default saving locations

We all have a folder full of downloads - but where do your downloads get saved? Many browsers will allow you to choose where each file is saved to rather than saving all of them to one location. This allows you to sort the files as you go, saving you time later. The same goes for any screen shots you take - you can designate a file especially for them rather than sending them straight to the general 'downloads' folder.

πŸŽ„ EDIT: We also accept requests from individuals πŸ˜‰

A Christmas card from your business is more than just a piece of paper.

A Christmas card says,
- we value you as a customer
- we appreciate you as a supplier
- we work hard on our business relationships
- we care about our community

It also gets your brand out there for more people to see.

Not got time this year? We can take care of that for you.
Business christmas cards designed, printed, hand written and posted for you.

Don't miss out - confirmation is needed by 30th November to guarantee delivery before christmas.

De-clutter your digital desktop #2 - Head to the Cloud

Ideally you can create a cloud based filing system - this allows you to access your files from anywhere on any device. It can be very handy when visiting clients or when you switch between working at home and in the 'office'. Google Drive and One Drive are the 2 main players in this. All you need is to set yourself up a gmail or outlook account and upload the folders or files into the drives.

We can help you with this. Our clients have seen huge improvements in their filing systems from migrating to Google Drive. Employees can now access the information when they need to wherever they are no more scary blank screens when using the PCs as all the important files are stored in the cloud.

De-clutter your digital desktop #1 - Create a filing system

You have admitted to yourself that you have a problem - great! Now it is time to do a digital version of going through your wardrobe. Delete anything that you don't need, and start organising what you do. Plan your folders, and make use of them. It can be helpful to write out the folder structure before you start. Allocate yourself 10 minutes a week to sort your files and keep them organised.

If you had an extra week each month with your business, what would you do?

Just imagine it ...

πŸ‘‰ you managed to fit in the staff monitoring and training
πŸ‘‰ you actually checked and sorted the equipment properly
πŸ‘‰ you finally managed to meet up with that business contact
πŸ‘‰ you talked to your clients, and found out more about them so you can improve your services

All it takes is to outsource your admin tasks.

Why you need a Virtual Assistant #4. Flexible packages

When taking on a new employee, you are bound by contracts and salaries. Most admin employees are a permanent fixture, so you are in it for the long haul.

By taking on a VA, you not only have the flexibility to increase and decrease the hours each month, but you also have the ability to trial their services with no long term commitments if it doesn't work out.

To discuss how Purbeck Admin Solutions can provide you with a Virtual Assistant, get in touch purbeckvasolutions@outlook.com
