💡 Quick Xero tip from the new homepage
The dashboard only becomes useful once it reflects how you work.
Out of the box, it shows everything and therefore disoirenting. After customising, it shows what actually matters.
If you do one thing this week, reorder your homepage so the cash, invoices, and tasks you check most often appear at the top. Small change, big clarity.

💡 Quick Xero tip
Adding a bank account in Xero and activating the bank feed are two separate steps.
You can have a bank account created in Xero even if the bank feed is not active yet.
Once the feed is active, transactions will start flowing in automatically and you are ready to reconcile.

One thing I have noticed over the years is that missing bank transactions cause more stress than they should.
Most of the time, it is just a feed issue or setup delay. So patience is the keyword to avoid stress and duplicate transactions.
And if the transactions are really missed from the bank feed, it's really easy to import the missing statements.
If you have not watched it yet, my video How to import bank statements into Xero walks through exactly when manual imports make sense and how to do them safely.

Here is a quick time-saving tip from my latest video that you can use in Xero today!
Did you know you can use simple "shortcuts" in the due date field? Instead of clicking through the calendar, try these:
Type +7 and hit tab to set the due date for one week away.
Type +14 for two weeks.
Type +0 if the invoice is due immediately.
It is a tiny habit, but it makes your weekly bookkeeping feel much smoother and faster.
Oh .. and this works for both invoices and bills.
Have you tried using any keyboard shortcuts in Xero yet?
