    2.15: I'm Lonely, But I'm Okay

    Scott: Whiteboards Photo of Scott’s Whiteboard Chris: Time Tracking Reasons to track time: Shows you where you’re spending your time (and proportion of time) Helps you say “no” to things Helps you get a better idea of how much time things take you Tips for time tracking: Helps you realize why you feel overwhelmed or if you need to give yourself a kick Start with 3–5 broad tracking areas: sermon prep, people time, prayer, admin work, errands It’s about the general trends, not the 3-second changes Why I chose Toggl? Automate as much as possible It’s free for everything I need It’s on every platform (including browser plug-ins for Chrome) If necessary, you can get the iOS app Timery (easier to use than Toggl’s iOS app) ------- Follow us on Twitter: @technistrypod Follow us on Facebook: @technistrypod

    Chris: Bluetooth FM Transmitter Set up My particular one is cheap, just $18 (link here) Plug it into your cigarette lighter It connects to your FM radio (find a blank radio station and sync the transmitter to it) Any audio that plays over your phone can now play over your car speakers Advantages You can listen to music, podcasts, etc. without needing earphones (which may be illegal where you live anyhow) You can charge your phone while listening You can answer phone calls and use the buttons to navigate audio Scott: Group Texts and Facebook Messenger Tips: You can mute group conversations (use liberally) And don’t be afraid to eliminate notifications altogether Groups are helpful for announcements For smaller churches, group messaging can be a great way to share prayer requests or encourage other Christians ——- Follow us on Twitter: @technistrypod Follow us on Facebook: @technistrypod
