373: Tech Tips for Managing Workflow, RNIB Braille Library changes, and Sharky

Do you ever feel overwhelmed, like you're spinning far too many plates, and that things are getting on top of you? How many unread emails do you have? How many times a day does your work phone ring? Well, we here at Tech Talk feel your pain - so we've gathered the crew to talk about some 'Top Tech Talk Tech Tips' to help battle workflow, productivity and time management! Steven Scott, Robin Christopherson and Emails Andy return with self proclaimed Tech Talk black sheep Shaun Preece, to talk about overflowing email inboxes, FOMO and learning to switch off from 'work mode', prioritizing tasks, and being 'overfaced'! There are some really helpful tips on getting the most out of Outlook, Notepad, phone apps, and more. Also this week, we hear from Mohammed Atif from the RNIB Technology for Life team, this week introducing us to Sharky, the JAWS 2021 voice assistant. In emails we talk about Clubhouse accessibility, and using NVDA as a first-time PC user, we hear a clip from Toby Davey's recent interview with Dave Williams about the new RNIB Braille Library on demand service starting April 2021, and we also talk a bit about 'Calls', the new Apple TV+ show which is all about audio! All that, plus Hells Angels, A Star is Born, Lord Doctor, Greenland, and we send out best wishes to Tim, who is recovering from the after-effects of his COVID jag - get well soon, Mr S!
