1 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: Good Morning, This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. 3 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: Today's tip is for how to remember anything that involves 4 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: your phone, take a screenshot. Then you can use this 5 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: information whenever you need it. I was reminded of this 6 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: tip when Sarah hart unger my co host on the 7 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: Best of Both Worlds podcast, mentioned that she would hear 8 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: something interesting in another podcast while walking or running and 9 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: then wonder how she could capture it. Then she realized 10 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: that she could take a screenshot. The screenshot would record 11 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: where she was in the podcast. Then later, when she 12 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: was at her desk, she could go to that part 13 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: of the podcast and write down whatever it was she 14 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: wanted to hear again. I hadn't thought of this idea 15 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: for podcasts, but I realized I was using the screenshot 16 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: function on my phone for other things. For instance, I 17 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: review a reasonable number of books. In the past, i'd 18 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: get paper galleys and i'd mark them up when I 19 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: found a quote that I thought I might possibly use. 20 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: These days, a number of authors and publishers want to 21 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: send out galleys electronically, and I get it. No paper, 22 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: no shipping, quicker and better for the earth. But I 23 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: really struggle to take notes on anything electronic. I'd be 24 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 1: reading on my phone, but then have to find paper 25 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: to write something down, which seems like a high bar 26 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: for a long quote I wasn't sure I was going 27 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: to use anyway. Then I realized I could take a 28 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: screenshot of whatever page I found the cool quote on. 29 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: I would save the screenshot to my photos, and then 30 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: later look back through them and pull out the information 31 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: I intended to use. This is now how I handle 32 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: reviews of just about anything I read electronically. I also 33 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: screenshots pretty liberally for design ideas. I'm working with a 34 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: designer to renovate the new to us but very old 35 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: house that my husband and I just bought. I know 36 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: people create Pinterest boards or house pages, but I was 37 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: finding a lot of stuff on Instagram and just struggling 38 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: with transferring it all over. So I realized I could 39 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: take screenshots and email them to the designer. Problem solved. 40 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: Taking a screenshot works for anything you want to remember 41 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: but can't fully process. Now, if I am doing research 42 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: on my phone for an article and come across the study, 43 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: I'll take a screenshot of the title, author and journal 44 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: with that information, I know I'll be able to google 45 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: it successfully later. Now. Of course, I can obviously email 46 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: a link to myself too, and we've certainly talked about 47 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: that on this program. But I found that the screenshot 48 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: is good for stuff that I'm not add percent sure 49 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to use, or when I'm capturing a lot 50 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: of stuff, because when I process my email, I'm doing 51 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: everything as I go through my inbox, and it's going 52 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: to annoy me to have links to different articles in 53 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: very different spots on my inbox. A safe set of screenshots, 54 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: on the other hand, can sit there until I plan 55 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: to work on that particular project. Plus is Sarah on 56 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: my podcast co host noticed the screenshot function is great 57 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: for things that are fleeting or that happened while you're 58 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: out on the go. You may think you're going to 59 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: remember something really cool that happened two minutes and forty 60 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: seven seconds into a podcast, but you know what, you 61 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: are never going to remember that. So today, if there's 62 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: something that you do want to remember later, take a screenshot. 63 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: That way, you don't have to rely on your brain, 64 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: which is good because your brain is probably too busy 65 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: for stuff like that. In the meantime, this is Laura. 66 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening and here's to making the most of 67 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: our time.
