One of the greatest productivity ninja secrets for youth pastors and youth speakers is Evernote. Here are a few great ideas of how you can use Evernote to streamline your productivity as an effective youth communicator:
1. Illustration file.
Clip potential illustrations to Evernote for future use: Quotes, stories, anecdotes, scripture, video links, pdf, kindle quotes, the list goes on and on. If its on the internet, you can clip it to Evernote.
2. Message archive.
You can store all of your old message outlines on Evernote for future reference. Better yet, you can also save links to other great messages you come across for future reference as well.
3. Remember names and faces.
Evernote offers an additional app called "Hello" which will help you memorize names and faces of new students that you meet each week. When the student shows up to youth group a week or two later, you can call them by their first name (from memory) and now they will connect with you even more when you get up to teach the group.
4. To-do lists.
Many youth pastors are notorious for forgetting the details. Use Evernote to create a to-do list as you think of things on the fly (you can send a text or short email to Evernote and it will add the item to your list).
5. Travel file.
Need to keep all of the information for an upcoming trip in one place? Use Evernote to create a folder to keep all of your important receipts, itinerary, and other trip-related details in one place, organized and at your fingertips.
