What do you do at a Berkshire Jelly day?

Going to Berkshire Jelly can give you the opportunity to catch up on all sorts of admin bits that you just don't find time for at other times. A lot of Jelly attendees also find it's a great time to focus on those personal projects that always get left at the bottom of your to do list!

Here are a few things we do at Jelly

• Accounts
• Catch up on some reading/ writing
• Emails
• Online housekeeping
• Blogging
• Updating social media profiles
• Commenting on blogs
• Tweeting
• Cake eating (thanks to @SarahFidd!)
• Chatting about blogging/remote working developments

• Requesting feedback on new websites/projects

Sounds fun? Don't forget to book your ticket for the next Berkshire Jelly then!

What we've learnt so far at Berkshire Jelly

We've only had two Berkshire Jelly co-working events so far, but we've already learnt a whole lot! Here are a few of the lessons we've learned and resources we've discovered.

Lessons learnt

• Don't bring a long To Do list! There's a lot of interaction and plenty of information flying around, so you'll probably find your list increasing rather than decreasing!
• The co-working event isn't for networking, so try to keep any sales pitches to other events.
• Confused about something? Want to know more about something? Ask! Everyone is friendly and someone usually knows the answer or can help you discover more.

Useful Resources

• HootSuite: For bringing together all your social networks, using analytics on your tweets and Facebook links.
• Pixlr: For grabbing and editing images directly from your Firefox browser.
• iGoogle: Homepage for your Google reader, mail, documents, RSS feed and thousands of gadgets for your everyday work.
• LinkedIn: Sarah Cooper from ApproachTheMarket gave us a fantastic tutorial on how to get the best out of your LinkedIn profile.

That's just a few of the resources and tips we've picked up. If you've attended Berkshire Jelly before and learnt something new, let us know in the comments section!
