Google Workspace and Shortcuts, Oh my!

                                                                                  

Google Drive is such a useful tool to store and organize all your documents in one place. Naming folder and creating sub folders is a easy way to have all your resources in one place. What if you want to work in one folder on a project and do not want to have to jump around your folders?

                                                              Create a Google Workspace! 

Here is a video that will show you how to create Google Workspace folders and shortcuts. 

I just love being able to customize my Google drive to to fit my needs and get to the information quickly. This kind of organization come in handy when I want to separate my work emails from my school emails. 

                                           How would you organize your documents with Google Drive?

                               

Organizational Charts

 I would love to share a video tutorial about making simple organizational charts in Google Sheets. These organizational charts can be used to help structure an organization. When you create an organizational chart on Google Sheets it can be shared and updated immediately which is a nice feature when it comes to collaborating. 

As you can see, it is simple and easy to create your own organizational chart they are simple to customize. I hope you have fun creating your own!

Learning screen capture and editing images

 I must say, learning to screen capture and edit pictures this week has been so fun! It helped open up my curiosity and want to learn more about editing. 

I have both a Mac for work and Windows for personal use. I loved that I was able to learn both ways depending on what computer I used how to screenshot or clip a part of the screen when needed. After practicing with several images, I was able to get the hang of it fairly easily. I know that I will utilize this a lot in my work life as I always have to explain where things are on our website. This will help me visually show the person asking the question through email. Using PowerPoint, and editing the pictures using shapes to circle important content or arrows to point out specific areas will also be useful to me. I am excited to build upon what I have learned as I grow in my knowledge of image editing. 

Snoozing Emails!

 

Snoozing emails! I get so many emails throughout the day that I can hardly keep up! As you know, I am all about organization, so when I read Robin Lindbeck's Blog about snoozing emails to save for a later date, I was thrilled to learn that I can use this for my email organization. 

I am constantly receiving emails about current and upcoming events in my job. Events that I will be attending and volunteering at like Bengal Visit Day, Rugir Con ISU, Experience ISU, New Student Orientation, and Academic Signing Days to name a few. I continuously receive emails about the event and what I am assigned on the day of the event. Having the option to snooze the email until the day before the event will be a game changer for me so that the information won't get lost in my inbox which it has before on many occasions. I then scramble to find the email or have the sender send it to me again. Now that is embarrassing!

Integrating something so small into my everyday work routine really does make a huge impact when it comes to productivity. I am excited to utilize this on a daily basis and hope that this will not make me feel so overwhelmed when it comes to my emails.
