Here is our next issues of “The Links” and yes we did not post this on Friday. There are times that other post are more important than my own ramblings. Especially when Tina Hilton is posting about Virtual Assistant issues. Here are some of the post we read this past week. As always, get us your own best post for the week and we will post it here and give you a link back of course.

This is news I have been waiting for, Google Gears Coming to Gmail and Google Calendar Soon This is just what I have been waiting for as I use Gmail and Google Calendar all day long. Be watching for an upcoming post on how I use and what tools I use with Google Calendar.
Stress is something even those of us who work from a home office face. How to beat the stress when working from home is from elsterama and it is a new blog for me anyway. Check out the collection of other post there too.
Mice and Mutual Funds is from BibleMoneyMatters a blog I discovered from someone I recently started to follow on twitter, @moneymatters and someone I am trying to get as a contributor editor here at HOW. Pete has a way about him when it comes to “money matters” and I really enjoy the way he writes.

That is it for this [last] week. Get me your suggestions for links for next [this] week’s edition. And if anyone would like to host the Home Office TIps and Hints…Links on their own blog, let me know. It might be fun to spread this around and turn it into our own little “carnival”. We won’t call it that, but you get the idea.

GREAT links. I’m really interested to find out more about this Google Gears thing and how you’re using it. I use Google for a lot of things but I’m still having to rely on other services, so the more tools I can consolidate into one virtual location, the more smoothly I can run my VA business.
And I think I’m going to print off that article from Entrepreneur.com about staying focused while working at home. I wonder if that’s one of the reasons that so many people who work from home DO need a Virtual Assistant…because all of the Home Office distractions make it hard to get things done, especially when its the kind of non-income-generating tasks they dread doing to begin with.
