highlighting and note taking

Joshua Peeler

I am currently looking for the best way to utilize highlighting and notetaking. I am especially interested in how to use Logos 5 sermon prep and graduate-level schoolwork.I also use logos notetaking to create a note for each sermon i am preparing. Does anyone have a better way of doing this?

I'm also very interested in the process people go through each time they open program to begin research on a sermon topic. I generally read through the text several times using different translations and then study the original languages dependent upon which words interest me. Then at some point I try to read to several commentaries to see which is the best. Please let me know what your process is and how I can improve mine.

For context I wanted to say that I am a Masters level seminary student and a youth pastor who uses logos to create messages, to take notes in class and for papers as well. Again any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated thank you.

I don't have any specific tips based upon your different usages… What I will share with you, however, is that I create resource specific note files. For example, I am reading "sticky teams" right now, so I have created a highlighter note file called "sticky teams." I have changed the behavior of the highlighting pallets to send highlighting notes into "last used" note files. 

If I were still in seminary, or if I were preaching again regularly, I might also create thematic note files… but I would use those more sparingly.
