Saturday snoozin’ or soakin’ up the sun? ☀️ These California sea lions really know how to do both!
We are wishing you a beautiful Spring weekend from all of us at NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. How are you spending your Saturday?
Invasive species alert
This large, golden-brown kelp species, Undaria, is native to Japan, Korea, and China. So, how did it end up in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary? Undaria frequently catches a ride around the world on boat hulls or in ballast water. Upon arrival to a new area, if weather conditions are right, it can cling to new boat hulls, clog docks, smother fishing gear, disrupt marine farming, or even alter marine ecosystems. Due to its catastrophic affects, Undaria is considered one of the world’s worst invasive species.
How do you manage your schedules? On your phone, a printed calendar/diary, or a combination? ️
I’ve asked a similar question before, but it seems online scheduling services multiplied like rabbits while I wasn’t paying attention. (Hmm. It’s kinda like what happened with me & LinkedIn! ) There are now lots of options & they all seem to offer free & paid versions.
Do we need them? I recently met @lonelyroadlover #IRL & we agreed on details via IG DMs. I manually added the date to my Google calendar. Super easy! ✅
Last month I attended a post-launch authors’ workshop for my writing cohort, & I had a few side conversations in the chat window. One was with @dcasha, a fellow author who smart & nice & I wanted to get to know her better. We met on Zoom & clicked. We ended up exchanging copies of our books.
Asha used an appointment service that was unfamiliar to me —youcanbook.me. It worked great & even sent reminders. Most people I know use Calendly or a Google invite to schedule meetings. Have you tried any of these options?
Scheduling apps let you see a list of times when a person is free & you choose one. Boom. Done. Sync to calendar.
It used to be people talked on the phone ☎️ & agreed to get together. Now it seems we plan via email or text. Talking or emailing & texting is personal but take time. ⏳ Scheduling apps are fast⏩ and impersonal, but they address that 1) We are so busy ♀️ and; 2) We know we’re going to meet so no need for chit chat beforehand? ️
Whether you use them for travel, ✈️ business, or planning lunches or dinners, scheduling apps can be great. If you don’t already use a scheduling app, do you want to try one?

Even though yesterday was #nationaldogday, in our family, we celebrate everyday.
As a pet lover, I always enjoy supporting organizations that help animals in need, like @animal_friends_rescue_project. That’s why I’m excited to be a guest judge in their upcoming doggie fashion show fundraiser in October at @portolahotel in #Monterey, California.
