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?
β
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.
β
...but I understand reflection sounds like homework if your brain can't empathize with future you.
β
So - imagine the Christmas 2024 version of you and, for his/her sake, try this handy tool I made:
β
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
β
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!

Ready to get off of Meta? Me too. Click to watch a summary with extended FAQs! This past week, I had a meeting with a representative from the ad agency that holds all of Bible Gateway's ad placements. You know Bible Gateway, right? The Bible reading website & app that, like, everyone uses? They have banner ads that flash around the page. You can buy those placements for a relatively low price. I, of course, thought this was intriguing. But why advertise to people who are already Christians?...
A few people have mentioned this to me, so I simply had to investigate... Have you gotten ads for Church Candy? Church Candy was started by a man who built an ad agency in a different field. He pivoted and decided to use his skills within the church. He promises that he can get new visitors into your church using online ads. How does he do this? His team will run ads for you on Facebook & Instagram with the primary goal of gathering leads. What's a lead? A lead is someone who sees your ad and...
I've been designing a lot of postcards lately. I let people know about a $1.5k matching grant a few weeks ago through Outreach.com. I also work with a lot of churches that are having their launch services soon. Because of this, I've been working on lots of postcard designs and here is the general idea behind the template I use (that makes web traffic do this): 1) Ditch the paragraph and write for the eye. Take the paragraph of descriptive information that you'd like to put on your postcard...
