As the world reopens following the COVID-19 pandemic, are you facing the prospect of returning to an office setting? Or will you forever work from home? What does it mean to go back to work?

Getting There…

Before the pandemic, did you work in an office away from home? How did you get there? If you took public transit, you might benefit from Express Transit Card.

In supported regions, including the San Francisco Bay Area and Washington, D.C. Area, you can transfer your transit card to your iPhone or Apple Watch. Leave your card at home and tap your device to the transit reader. I’ll share more details next week.

…to Use What Computer…

Does your employer provide you a computer? Will you spend time working from both home and office and need to transport it? Do you have remote access to an office server from home? What do all these variables look like in action?

Depending on your employer’s flexibility and your Mac’s storage capacity, there are a number of possibilities in play. Additionally, if you’re using a home computer, how do you securely share it with other household members?

In two weeks, I’ll outline some considerations for managing one or more computers for personal and/or professional use.

…and Still Make Remote Presentations?

Since you and your coworkers or clients may not always be in the same room, you might still need to make digital presentations to folks from far away. Apple recently added some features to Keynote that make it easier to share slide-supported presentations on remote meeting platforms like Zoom.

When playing a slideshow in a window, you can now show the Presenter Display in another window. It’s also now possible to switch applications while presenting.

In three weeks, I’ll explore these advancements and help you get even more savvy with presenting during video meetings.

Feel free to explore some of these capabilities on your own and let me know what you discover. Each week, I’ll provide a tutorial and questions for discussion to help you learn and make decisions.
