Muddy’s Tips for How Best to Prepare for the Session:
*Find a space to spread out, preferably a table or desk. It’s tough to be relaxed if you’re feeling cramped. So clear yourself a little space where you have some elbow room to take notes and sketch out some ideas.
*Gather what you’ll need. During the session, you’ll want something to write with and something to write on.
*Test your system ahead of time. We’ll be using Zoom Online Meetings, something tells me we’re probably all pretty familiar with Zoom at this point.
*Optimize your setup. Close other applications and try to limit competing internet usage like streaming.
*Headphones can be useful, not only to you hear all the good nuggets, but also to help you feel more immersed and engaged because they block out the ambient noises.
*Connect to the meeting early to test your tech and get set up. And the whole point of connecting to the meeting early is so you can then take a deep breath and relax.
*Finally, trust that everything is going to be alright. Don’t get me wrong, something will probably break at some point during the meeting. But, that’s okay. It comes with the territory. We’ll do the best with what we got in the time we have. And it’ll be awesome!
