Future-You Jump-Start

Thanks to Traci Smith for sharing this Great Idea in her weekly Treasure Box Tuesday Free post.

After introducing her Fall Forward planning time webinar, Traci writes,

‘Speaking of Getting Ahead of Things: I watched an INSTAGRAM REEL from a teacherr who had created a “September Box” for all of the things she would need to do for her students after she came back from Summer Break. A jump start! I love this idea, and I wonder how ministry leaders could use it for liturgical seasons. What would it be like to have an Advent box in your office? A Lent Box What if you made one now and filled it with things future you needed to have?’

Could be a Great Idea for keeping ahead of the game with ideas, materials, volunteer/leadership tips, etc.

Especially useful when I share something that gets to you just a bit later than any of us would like: tuck away a link or an image and have it ready for next year’s iteration of that season, celebration, or observance!
