Sparkle Changes

On January 20, 2012, in Random, by Layne

Some subtle changes have been afoot (or not so subtle). With those changes, an entire exchange of adjustments are required in all the many applications and associated social network profiles attached to the website, as well additions and/or corrections. Some of the changes you will find:

Welcome Monique

  • Please welcome  new author, writer, collaborator, and my daughter, Monique Tinsley, to Administrative Sparkle. She will be bringing a fresh perspective to our young professionals who are starting their careers and/or going to college and finding themselves working in administrative fields while they kick-start their careers.
  • She has been included in the Contact tab and she is at work creating her About Monique page so you can know all about her background and experience. In general, you are invited to get to know who she is, what she’s about, and what she hopes to contribute in her writing and articles.
  • I hope you will find her to be as fabulous a writer as I do. She has the gift for the “joy of writing” and now she can channel it into entertaining pieces for you.

Catch Up On Your Online Reading

On October 24, 2009, in Skillset Development, by Layne

readingIf you are anything like me, you have your RSS reader filled with great information that seems impossible to get through on a day-to-day basis. I love to comment on the great information and suggestions that are provided out there and flag information that I would like to be able to access later.

I have gotten better about getting through my RSS reader and scanning quickly through some information, but others have a little bit more meat to them and take time to get through. Between the RSS information from some great websites that I like to keep up with, magazines, and books that I like to go through, that is a lot of reading in only so much available time.

Spreeder.com is a great way for me to get through my online reading quickly. I just paste the information in and “go.” I see it as a great flashcard idea if you are taking college courses and have a lot of terminology that you need to get through in preparing for tests. As long as you have the information already typed into your computer, you can paste it into the Spreeder and cycle through the information over and over at a faster rate.

Now if you are looking to get through information that is not readily available on your computer to paste into Spreeder, such as your magazines, books, and journals information, I suggest you take a look at this article at The Art of Manliness.

Obviously, like any other skill that you are looking to improve on, the more you read, the more you learn, and the better you get at it. I hope you find this information as helpful as I have. Let me know what you think and don’t forget to show your love to The Art of Manliness while you’re at it.
