Monday September 1st, 2014, 6:04 pm

An eclectic bunch this month.  Here are our top seven (from August) to help you improve personal and business productivity and manage the risk of cyber crime.  Some of which we email you about in August.

1.  Ten pieces of IT jargon we love to hate.  

Our favorite of the batch.  It comes with a video and will make you laugh. Next time either an email is ignored or proposal rejected, check how many of these phrases it contains. Don’t say you haven’t been warned.

Email bankruptcy.

Email bankruptcy to stop wasting time

2.  Understand your body clock to time your workouts.

Recent research suggest late afternoon optimum.  But what if we cannot take time off then?

3.  Declare email bankruptcy to avoid vacation email overload.

Is this a viable option when you come back to a mountain of email after being out of the office whether on leave or business? Yes for many time poor business people.

4.  Six ways to beat the email holiday blues.

A guest post by Dr Seeley for Zoe Amear.

5.  Here’s a radical way to end vacation email overload. 

Daimler have developed an application to stop sending emails to people on leave.  It automatically pings back a response to the sender asking them to re-send the email after the recipient returns. Novel and perhaps all part of the EU’s plans to reduce the working day to 48 hours.

6.  Are universities failing computer science graduates?

Fifteen percent of computer science graduates are still out of work six months after graduating yet industry is crying out for skilled computer staff. What is causing the gap?

7.  (Spanish )Holiday booking scam

Looks like using even the most trusty hotel booking sites you still need to be extra vigilant.
