Be sure to schedule your computer to backup your computer files on a daily basis. I personally use a Seagate External Hard drive. Since I'm usually eating breakfast and away from my computer at 7 a.m., I have scheduled my computer to back up all of my files at that time. It is something you can "schedule" so you do not have to worry about remembering to do it. Weekly Tasks to Schedule Clear your web browser cache or history (You'll probably want to do the following tasks when you go to bed because they will likely take a few hours to complete.)

| Happy Valentine's Month Joyful Opportunities will be starting classes the third week of February. They will be for people who are wanting to create their own work product or service and how to make that happen. Joyful Scoping Leads' Team is delighted to say we've just received a large contract of scoping on Eclipse for our team. This is the beginning of a large project that will hopefully continue into ongoing work. The SIP classes started this week and are going well. New enrollments into the SIP can always join in after viewing the recordings. Jennifer Jenkins and Sharon Meyers are doing a great job in teaching the SMA classes while Devon continues to put together the training materials for the Joyful Opportunities. SMA will also be having a booth in Mason City, IA for the WOW Expo for Women. Don't forget the Open Scoping Chat which will be held in February. It's completely FREE. Check the yellow box below to save the link. Blessings, Devon |
| Scoping & Computer Tips |
| Little tip: When you do your proofreading of emails and transcripts, be sure to read the material aloud to catch the most proofreading errors. |

I highly recommend Devon Roberts/Joyful Scoping for scoping or to even help you find a scopist that meets your needs. I have been using Devon for the last 4 years or so to scope work and she does a superb job! She is very efficient and produces a very clean transcript in a timely fashion! She does excellent work and is a pleasure to do work with! Also, she has been very helpful in setting me up with other reporters to scope work when she is too busy or unavailable.
