### The discussion

Implementation and stacking – Martin and Sallie continue their book discussion of [*Atomic Habits*](https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break/dp/0735211299/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2DHM4OZZHEDKQ&dchild=1&keywords=atomic+habits&qid=1598382910&sprefix=atom%2Caps%2C202&sr=8-1) by James Clear, looking at starting new habits, motivation, and the secret of self-control (chapters 4-7).

### The interview

Pastor Paul Nitz recently returned from 25+ years of service as missionary to God’s people in Malawi and central Africa. Hear about his new role in World Missions and the tech that makes it all happen!

BONUS: Check out [Pastor Nitz’s OneNote template for meetings](https://welstech.wels.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/paulNitzOneNoteTemplateColor.png) for ideas on how templates can improve your work processes. Pastor Nitz writes, “I create the template in Excel and paste it in. I always choose to put in a page color to make the tables pop out. That, for me, takes care of the one thing about OneNote I really DON’T like, the huge colorless blank canvass effect.”
