Put File Management on Autopilot with Hazel for Mac
Send me a Text Message Hazel is a game changer when it comes to automating file management on my Mac, and it has saved me thousands of hours over the past 10 years. In this episode, you'll discover what Hazel can do that Automator cannot, and real life examples of how I use Hazel to put file management almost on autopilot. A full transcript is available at https://macpreneur.com/episode67 Takeaways : Hazel is a file automation tool that allows for the creation of rules to filter and rename files automatically. Hazel provides a centralized interface for managing rules and offers a wider range of triggers and actions compared to Automator. Examples of how Hazel can be used include organizing the desktop and downloads folder, and handling purchase orders. Hazel allows for the extraction of information from files, synchronization of rules between multiple Macs, and sorting files into subfolders. Hazel offers features for managing trash and uninstalling applications, which can be useful for those with limited storage. Learning to use Hazel can be challenging, but there is a supportive community and a helpful field guide available. Hazel is priced at $42 for a single license and $65 for a family license, with a 14-day free trial available. 🎤 Want to be a guest on the show?

Effortlessly Declutter Your Mac With Automator
Send me a Text Message In this episode, you'll discover why and how automation can help you prevent and reduce file clutter on your Mac. And, I'll share with you a simple Automator workflow so that you can start decluttering your Mac today! A video version with the full transcript is available at https://macpreneur.com/episode66 Visit https://macpreneur.com/score for personalised tips to be more efficient and productive on your Mac Takeaways : File clutter is inevitable, but automation can help manage it. Automator is a built-in tool on macOS for automating tasks on a Mac. Folder Action is a feature of Automator that allows for automatic execution of actions when files are moved to a designated folder. Automator's interface is intuitive and actions can be easily dragged and dropped to create workflows. Automator can be used for more than just file management, such as creating applications and quick actions. Folder actions can be created by selecting the desired folder in Automator and choosing the actions to be performed. Automator's limitations include limited filtering options, difficulty in testing and updating folder actions, and lack of synchronization between multiple computers. While Automator is useful for certain tasks, for more advanced file management, tools like Hazel may be preferred. 🎤 Want to be a guest on the show?

Boost Your Productivity with a Foolproof File Structure for Mac Solopreneurs

Should you buy a Mac laptop or desktop for your business?
Send me a Text Message I’m kicking off a three part series to help you choose which Mac to buy for your business. Over the past years, Apple has slowly extended the range of computers that it offers, with three kinds of laptops and 4 desktop computers. We’re far away from the mythical decision of Steve Jobs, in 1997 to offer only 4 products: 1 laptop and 1 desktop computer for two customer segments: consumers and professionals. That meant that, at the time, a business owner had just one question to ask: do I want a laptop or a desktop computer ? And given that there were no iPads, no iPhones and cloud computing wasn’t a thing back then, it was a rather straightforward question to answer. Fast forward at the beginning of 2019, and it’s a bit more complicated to choose which Mac to buy. This is why I decided to make this three-part series. Today, I’ll help you decide whether you should buy a Mac laptop or desktop, and whether you actually need a computer. Next time, I’ll explore the different MacBook options and the one after that all the Mac desktops.

Apple gear considerations when attending conferences
Send me a Text Message So, in today's show, I'll share with you my experience after recently attending two short conferences, spanning just a couple of days each: The Youpreneur Summit , Nov 3rd through 4th in London The Luxembourg Internet Days , Nov 13th through 14th, well, in Luxembourg You'll discover the gear I took with me, what went well, what did not go so well. Here are my main takeaways: It’s possible to travel light for short events Foresee potential lighting condition issues and in that case, a backlit keyboard is super handy A full day of battery life is attainable but take a powerbank with you anyway If you sit far away from the stage and screens, having a 2x optical zoom is definitely a plus A full transcript of the audio is available at macpreneur.com/episode23 🎤 Want to be a guest on the show?

Security considerations for entrepreneurs
Send me a Text Message So in today's show, I'll talk about security considerations for Macpreneurs. The topic is somewhat related to last week's show that explored the reasons why upgrading the operating system right away after a new release might not be such a good idea. If you've not yet listened to it, visit macpreneur.com/episode18 or open your podcatcher of choice and click download. While you're at it, please subscribe so that you can join the Macpreneur tribe and automatically get new episodes on your device. Another motivation for exploring the security topic is the fact that on May 25th, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (or GDPR) has come into force and should be taken seriously by entrepreneurs and business owners, even those not based in the EU. My goal with this episode is to share what I understand about GDPR and more importantly share universal security best practices, whether or not your business needs to comply with GDPR. During the next two episodes, I'll go through the security checklists that I have developed to help businesses secure their Apple devices.
