My first half-year of teaching full time, while doing an internship with the college ministry, and trying to prioritize time with Ashley and time for continued personal study, definitely knocked me out for the count on this blog endeavor. But after a several month hiatus I think I'm coming back with a few more planning tricks up my sleeve.
A great piece of planning advice that I've been gaining loads from came from a sermon by Mark Driscoll from the book of Proverbs. Driscoll suggested that you have to write your plans down in order to really have them. And not only that, he explained that everything needs to be written down in one place. This was really helpful for me because I've always tried to build some elaborate system for what to write where, which ended up taking more time than it saved, resulting in my abandoning the system. Now I'm using a single small notebook that I already had and filling up the pages with plans and ideas for anything and everything! Hopefully, this we help me focus my thoughts, as I continue my training as a teacher-pastor-scholar, so that you can share notes with me on this blog.
