It's the human condition to always overestimate how much time we have. "I'll get to that tomorrow," we tell ourselves. Tomorrow becomes next week, and that becomes next month, and so on and so forth. Until suddenly, December is around the corner and the end of the year is nigh - and we go into full rushing-around-mode trying to fit everything we wanted to get done by year's end into just a couple of weeks.
Well, have no fear - there's no rush to watch any of the Springshare webinar recordings by the end of 2023. They're not going to disappear, so you still have plenty of time. But if you're like us, and you want to knock off that professional development line item from your to-do list, these 40-min webinar recordings are just the ticket to getting something accomplished quick and easy. And even better, you can pause the recording to finish more pressing tasks and come back to finish it whenever it suits you.
