However, we may encounter challenges due to imperfections in ourselves and the current world around us. One of the main challenges of creating our meeting schedules is the time it takes – often 2-3 hours or more each month. This involves carefully selecting the right person for each assignment, checking for assignment conflicts, copying and pasting part titles from our workbook from jw.org or JW Library, and calculating time allocations. In addition, filling out and printing PDF templates, as well as Meeting assignment forms (S-89), require additional effort. As a result, many congregations have a separate brother, known as the assistant of the midweek meeting overseer, who helps with these tasks. This assistance includes filling out information and distributing meeting assignment forms, adding a few more hours of work each month. - -:::tip - -What if we told you that you can reduce your monthly meeting scheduling process from 3-5 hours to just 10-15 minutes, including double-checks and manual adjustments? - -**The Organized App makes this possible, all while offering improved quality and flexibility!** - -::: - -### Organized is right here to help you - -This is where the Organized Jehovah's Witnesses app comes in to make scheduling better for everyone in your congregation!
