More time to live, to work, to spend with family, to exercise and on and on. Think of all the things you’d like to do if you just had more time.

Social Media for Law Firms
DECEMBER 17, 2021
You might think the obvious answer is “yes” when someone asks whether or not social media is regulated. And of course technically it is. But many others would roll their eyes and say “obviously not.” This is the result of many years of media attacks against social media platforms, some justified, some not.

It was brought to my attention when the co-founders, Julia Rodgers , a family attorney based in Boston, and Sarabeth Jaffe , a software engineer based in Seattle, pitched Hello Prenup on Shark Tank last month and secured an investment of $150,000 for 30%, despite having relatively low revenues.

Resize Active Screens The key combination I use the most is the Window Logo and the arrow keys. It will automatically resize the active screen. For instance, if I press Logo + right arrow, it will place the screen on the right and be half of the screen. This came in handy for users who happen to have two monitors and want to automatically resize the window without having to use the arrows.
