Tech Made Simple: Recent Episodes
Michelle Guerra
Technology is supposed to make life easier. Yet too many of us struggle with it. We purchase the latest device, download that hot new app, or spend dollar after dollar on software or gadgets because someone told us they were “life-changing.” We buy the stuff, try it out for a bit, and then abandon it, wasting time, money—and opportunities to become more productive. Not anymore. Join your host Michelle Guerra, who wants to be your technology navigator, for a podcast to learn how to make better—more confident decisions—about what technology you use and how and when you use it.
Best practices show that having a structured work environment reduces the amount of stress we take on. A structure that includes boundaries will increase motivation and reduce the “burn out factor”.
