MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE IPHONE HACK: A conversation with my daughter the other day reminded me of this life-changing tip I shared with her. Seriously. It's life-changing! 💡🤯👏

When you're typing (whether a simple text or a long post) and you need to move your cursor to another spot in the text to edit, delete, etc., hold down your space bar for a couple seconds and then slide along the space bar to easily and quickly move the cursor to the desired location.

PRODUCTIVITY TOOL TIP:
Microsoft updated their PowerToys App a few weeks ago and I've had some fun playing around with it. Here are just a few of the included useful tools:
* Quick Image Resizer: Simply select one or more images in your Explorer, right click, resize. You can save custom preset sizes. It will either resize the originals or resize and save as a copy with the resize dimension in the filename.
* Color Picker: Launch the Color Picker and hover over any color on an open window/desktop and it gives you the color code in HEX, RGB & HSL with an easy copy tool.
* Paste as Plain Text: No more need to copy text, paste into a text application like Notepad to strip away underlying formatting, and then copy/paste from there. Simply copy text, right click and "paste as text".
* Awake: Puts an icon in your system tray that you can right click and quickly set your computer to not go to sleep or reset. No more need to Open Settings, and go through the power management steps.
* Shortcut Guide: Just click a couple keys, and the windows shortcut guide appears. Did you know you can click the windows key + semi-colon and the emoji menu pops up?

Did you know? According to the SBA, “In 1972, there were a little over 400,000 women-owned businesses in the United States. Until 1988, women needed a male relative to co-sign if they wanted to apply for a business loan.” Now, 42% of businesses in the US are owned by women.
