Save yourself 20 hours next Christmas...
βPaper is to write things down that we need to remember. Our brains are used to think.β
-Albert Einstein
Most of you just wrapped on a big week. If you're reading in the future, today is December 29th - you do the math. π
I'm sure you spent lots of time and mental energy on your promotional materials: social media graphics, posters, billboards, emails, mass-mailing postcards, Facebook ads... the list goes on...
Well, how did it go?
In my time as a teacher, I learned the value of time spent reflecting on how a lesson played out. Reflection was the only way to make the lesson better next time.
...but I understand reflection sounds like homework if your brain can't empathize with future you.
So - imagine the Christmas 2024 version of you and, for his/her sake, try this handy tool I made:
β Type in your written reflections - what worked? what didn't?
β Add any attachments you'd like to reference next year
β Add any links you'd like to reference next year
β Pick a date in the future when you'd like to receive an email containing all of the above
It's an easy way to capture everything while it's still fresh in your mind. Then, you can let my friendly robot remember the details. He'll only appear in your inbox when you ask him to. π€
Try it! π

This isn't just for Christmas. Use this tool whenever you wrap a big event. Bookmark it on my new website (subtle self-promo π).
I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. Happy New Year!

Well, it's like this: You can change the icon's color freely -- not just changing the shade of the image You can scale it up really large without losing image quality Have you noticed that when you use elements on Canva some of them follow these rules and some do not?...
Here's an idea to build off of YouTube views you're already getting: Do you know how many times I've heard the following from pastors I work with? "Yeah, we put my sermons on YouTube. People will visit church and say they've been watching for a couple weeks before they attend for the first time, so that's been good." So. many. times. This is amazing! What an awesome demonstration of how the internet can be used to remove barriers to an in-person connection (which is, of course, the ultimate...
This is one of those things that feels illegal to know. Today I want to take a minute to highlight a resource I use regularly in my work that, somehow, I've never shared with you. π§ Keep reading for 3 applications you can use this week.
