Doodle and get organised!

Doodle is another free tool I love.

Here's what it does and why we use it.  

Have you ever tried to organise a meeting with a group of two or three or fifteen people?

Well we have.

No matter how efficient each of us are, playing meeting tag is one way to certainly waste your time. 

Think about the last time you organised a meet up with your friends or a night out at the theatre...

Before I discovered Doodle, we'd each spend time going back and forth with different times and dates. 

Today, life is so much easier. 

Here's how I use it...

Check your diary for dates and times that are convenient for you. 

- add those dates and times to Doodle and email to all your friends/tenants. 

Everyone then replies via email with which dates they are available. 

Once you've got all your replies, select a date and have your meeting. 

That's how we use it at London Room Lets and why we highly recommend it.

Check it out today and see for yourself.

Capture everything!

If you've visited our website you will very likely have watched one of our house tours.

We used "YouTube Capture" to record these and then uploaded each to YouTube. 

Capture is designed to be simple and easy to use. 

You can edit your videos and share with just a single friend, your team or the whole world or simply keep private!

Here's how it works for us at LondonRoomLets.co.uk 

• Download the app: YouTube Capture
• Select Open
• Start recording 
• Finish recording - you can also edit the recording on the fly and record again
• Upload the video for private use or a wider group. 

It's a great way to share progress updates on a refurbishment prior to dressing your property and we use it to record house tours when a new property comes online. 

Did I mention that our prospective tenants also love it as it helps them decide if they want to come for a viewing or not, saving their time and ours. 

That's how we use it at London Room Lets and why we highly recommend it.

Google, Gmail and more...

All of you I'm sure already use Google, which means this tip/tool should be an easy one for you to adopt.

Google mail (aka gmail) as you may know is free to use and opens up a whole new world to you, your business partners, your team and your friends.

So if you're wondering what this post is all about?  It's simple.  If you are not using gmail, you're way way way behind the wave and it's time to take the bull by the horns and get stuck in.

Gmail has numerous add-ons that are very simple to use, help you improve your productivity and are free.  Yes Free (one of my favourite words).

So if you're not using gmail, you should certainly be asking yourself why not?

If you're worried about security, the mere fact that you're on the web opens up a whole new "can of worms" that none of us can even begin to imagine.

Yes we have to be careful and yes we must choose our passwords wisely and apparently change them often.  However what we must NOT do, is stay away because of fear.

How we use gmail at LondonRoomLets.co.uk...

- We do use the business version - only because we want to have email that reflects our business name and we want to be able to share documents and other tools internally in the same way that any other business would.

Because we use the business version it enables better collaboration and privacy within our organisation without having to outsource our IT.

If you're not a business you still get all the same free features and benefits of a great service.

What else I love about it...

• You can use it offline
• You get 2 gigs of storage space (translates as lots and lots)
• Easy to install on your phone - be it Apple or Android

Once you've created a Google account, this opens up a whole new world of easy to use, free opportunities and

it integrates seamlessly with many other apps and systems that we'll cover in future posts.

How to get started visit Google to...

- create an account

- import contacts

- start using Google email. 

That's how we use it at London Room Lets and why we highly recommend it.

Keep this to hand!

Have you discovered Google Keep yet?

I recently did and I love it.

Up until now, I used to use the Notes app on my phone to keep a record of ideas, thoughts and to dos.

However now that I've discovered Google Keep, I can hardly contain my excitement about it.

Why Google Keep and what is it?

Let me begin by explaining briefly what it is.

Google Keep is Post-it's on the go. That's right. Think of it as as a mobile #Post-it!

Keep is used to record notes, set reminders and create lists!

It is available on the phone and on your computer, I suspect that it works just as well with a PC as it works with a Mac and it synchronises across all your devices.  Nice

So what?
I use pen and paper, why should I bother with Google Keep?

If you are used to pen and paper and you're still wondering why the need to migrate to Google Keep, here's your answer.

Google Keep can...

• - record notes - (of course - that's basic stuff)
• - record your voice - (ok)
• - log your pictures (that's cool)

And export easily to Google Docs (which we'll cover in another post).

Is the above a good enough reason to use it?

You decide.

Here's how I use it...

• When out at a viewing, I'll make notes and take a photo there and then and possibly add some more notes.
• When I get back, I can add any further notes, share these with team members or simply send to Google Docs.  (one draw back I've noticed is that the pictures don't appear to transfer to Google docs and Google need to fix this to get five stars from me.
• When out and about, if I spot something of interest, I press record and the transcribed notes appear in Keep together with the recording of my voice message.

The three things I'd like Google to add to this productivity tool are:

• Text formatting
• The ability to forward the entire Keep note to Google docs (i.e images)
• Make it an app for the desktop in its own right.  You currently have to access it via the Google App store.  Which can be a little inconvenient. However it does exist as an App in its own right on the mobile phone.

I'm sure you can find other ways to use it in your life and in your business, comment and tell us what you think.
