Concurrent Session

Journal your way to a healthier world!

Presented by Heather Gruenthal

Why start a journal? Journaling can improve your organization, mental health, reduce stress and anxiety, and strengthen your memory. Develop practices for goal setting, stress relief, daily gratitude, and habit tracking. This session includes how to digitize your notes using the Rocketbook App. What is a Rocketbook? It is a reusable notebook that digitizes your notes and sends them to the cloud, allowing you to access your notes anywhere.

Tutorials from Leslie Fisher

For more detailed information such as how to use OCR and digitizing your Whiteboard using Beacons, Leslie Fisher has a great presentation.

Save as .jpg or .pdf?

.jpg uses less memory, .pdf allows smart lists

Beacons:

Scan your whiteboard into Rockebook folders using beacons (See Example KANBAN)
Cut an orange post-it in half on the diagonal to form a triangle (keep the sticky side)
Put your triangles in the 4 corners of the whiteboard
Scan using the Rocketbook App
Before scanning, choose the beacons tab at the bottom.
Wait for the camera to sense the beacons
Beacons do not have locations, so you will need to indicate where to send the file.

Make beacons with orange paper.

Put one on each corner of your paper to scan documents.

Must be BRIGHT Orange

Rocketbook Tips and Tricks:

Scan any paper into your Rocketbook using beacons
- Use an orange highlighter to make 1 mm triangles in the 4 corners of your paper
- Your Rocketbook scanner will read them as beacons
- Before scanning, choose the beacons tab at the bottom.
- Wait for the camera to sense the beacons
- Beacons do not have locations, so you will need to indicate where to send the file.
