    Cal Newport's Push/Pull Approach to Project Management : PP120

    Project management is one of those skills most of us have to learn. We aren't naturally great at it. In Cal Newport's latest book, Slow Productivity, he shares an approach to project management I've found helpful personally. It translates over to ministry really well.  So let's look at the push/pull methodology of project management.

    Shifting Back to Analog Productivity : PP 118

    Finding the perfect productivity system first means admitting the perfect system doesn't exist. But an appropriate one, unique to you, does exist. I find systems tend to run in cycles, and at the end of one, hopefully we have found a new tool that actually provides deep value.  Over the last few months, I have been relying more on analog tools because I have to be adaptive in a new ministry context. Let me share more about deciding what tools are actually helpful and how I am integrating analog tools back into my workflow.  Shownotes | https://bit.ly/prodpastor118 Healthy Ministry Through Strategic Productivity Listen and Subscribe to Productive Pastor on iTunes | https://bit.ly/ProductivePastor Productive Pastor Email List | https://bit.ly/PPemailList Productive Pastor on Spotify | https://spoti.fi/3oIT5gf Chad on YouTube | https://bit.ly/RevChadBrooksYouTube

    Learning New Vocational Capacities (and how I'm doing it) | PP117

    What happens when ministry is changing and you need to learn new skills? Seminary and Bible College might teach the Christian leader to do many things, but rarely do we think about what it means to learn new skills and level up in our vocational abilities.  I always love this conversation (and am a bit low-key fascinated with it right now). So let's jump into a quick framework AND let me share with you how/why I'm doing this.  Healthy Ministry Through Strategic Productivity Listen and Subscribe to Productive Pastor on iTunes | https://bit.ly/ProductivePastor Productive Pastor Email List | https://bit.ly/PPemailList Productive Pastor on Spotify | https://spoti.fi/3oIT5gf Chad on YouTube | https://bit.ly/RevChadBrooksYouTube
