Hi everyone,
Sorry its been a super busy couple of weeks. So im bopping on and off of here.
A fun fact about me.
Well I have the need for speed. I busted three engine mounts on my first car when I was 16yrs old..and went through a full set mag wheels in 30 days. I had a 1970 cougar 4 barrel cleveland engine. Too may Break torks. I was in major trouble... Lol..
So my advice to the new mentors. When you get lost in your sea notifications, like I do. I go to the groups I follow and look at the posts and comments. It is faster doing that to find your name tag. Than trying to stroll through 99 notifications. Cause in three hours you can get that many notifications. There is no way to single out your mentions, likes or new comments. I wish there was a way to sort the notifications by new comments, likes and mentions. It would help you find where your name was mentioned, and answer people faster.
I wish everyone the best and I am so sorry I have to miss this meeting.
Talk to everyone soon.
Jackie

Hi Jackie, you make me laugh because I am old🧓 according to my grandchild (because I don't have to work any more and can take vacations). I admire your spunk. It shows in your communications, too!
I agree that there can be overwhelming amount of notifications at times.
Here are some tips that help me:
-I have found that by editing my notification preferences in
Account Settings, I can eliminate some of the clutter.
-My preference is to read thru my emails and to quickly scroll and determine the ones that I feel are important to me and need my attention - either now or save for later. I also look for those where I might be mentioned by Colleen,a moderator, or another mentor because sometimes I want to respond if I am tagged to respond (needed) to a particular discussion that I don't usually follow.
-I also like to check in on the Mentor and Moderator Group on a regular basis. This is where Colleen posts Information and updates for our group. The [brackets] tell me if she is posting a [Tip], [Idea], [Help Needed] etc. It's also where we, the mentors, can communicate and support each other. I would be lost without this feature!
-My own priority to the groups that I have selected to follow. And to myself-self care is always first.
-Lastly - I think that a simple click of a 'Like' can mean a lot to a member 😃

@travelgirl, Jackie, that first sentence of yours does not surprise me at all!
