I have a word document saved
as Webinars Do and Delete.
When I get an email with webinar
confirmation, I first register and assign it to my calendar and for ease of
finding the link, I copy and paste the entire email message in this document.
When my calendar shows I have a webinar scheduled, I open the document and
click the live link. When the webinar time and date have passed, I highlight the
information for it in the Webinars Do and Delete document and delete it. I now
have a “clean slate” to add future webinar info.
Many times I would register and schedule an online
webinar or Zoom meeting but just prior to logging into the meeting at the date
and time; I couldn’t find the link to do so. (I have also found that many times
the hosts of these meetings don’t make searching the confirmation of these
online events easy by using an identifiable title or topic in the email subject
line. Some keywords when doing an email search are “confirmed”, and “welcome”) Many
times I could not find the login and if I did I would show up late, and
frustrated for having missed part of it. Here’s how I avoid this situation now
and you may find that it is helpful for your busy lifestyle.
I have saved on my computer a word (or similar) document
titled Webinars Do and Delete. When I register for a webinar I ensure that it
is placed on my calendar but then I also go to my email and open the actual
confirmation email, copy everything including the link to the webinar and paste
it into the word document and save it.
Just prior to the time of the webinar I do a quick search
on my computer: Webinars Do and Delete (you probably won’t have to do a search
like this unless you have a ton of things on your computer as I do), open the
word document and either click the live link (or copying and pasting the link
into the browser if that doesn’t work) and voila, I am happily waiting for the
webinar to begin.
TIP: I know that when registering for an online event,
most hosts will tell you to get in early and listen to the music or “the
webinar will begin shortly, please stay on the line” over and over. But how
many of us make it a point to get in early? If you are like me, you may ignore
this like most people do when the flight attendant goes over instructions for a
water landing. I suggest that you do get to your webinar at least 15 minutes
early. Some fill up and the virtual door closes when too much bandwidth is
achieved. This may not be the case in the future, but from now until eternity, I
would show up and just do a few other things at your desk while waiting.
TIP: Register for webinars even if you are not sure that
you will be present during the live event as most will offer a replay and will
usually email a link shortly after the live version.
LIKE THIS TIP?
How would you like to get all 100 Tips for just a buck when the book is published?
I’m spending quite some time on this so that the
finished product will be stellar and well worth the $20 that it will most
likely to be priced.
It’s easy, just register and you’ll receive notifications
as to how the book is progressing from time. In the meantime, you’ll be
notified when I publish an informational blurb about one of the tips like the
one you’ve just read. One tip may only reinforce something you already know and
perhaps remind you to revisit it and implement into your routine, or it could
be a tip that you’ve never thought of before that could literally change how
you see things, do things and just maybe change your entire life.
By registering you’ll get these notifications from time
to time with tips like this one, just as I said, and (here’s the big deal). You
will be notified when the book is to published and you’ll have access to get it
for just a buck with no strings attached; well, actually there is one. If you
like it, I would love to have you (wait at least a day after you purchase it)
to leave a comment on Amazon. I’m sure that you’ll have a pretty good
understanding of the book prior to its launch but it’s still good to give it a
day or two so Amazon doesn’t think that you just bought the book and are
commenting before you read it.
OK, so here’s the link to be sure you are notified ofthese little short blurbs and the book launching. Thank you in advance and I
hope you’ll use today’s featured tip. Feel free to comment below. I try to
reply to each comment, and I may even address your comment in the actual book.
