How do YOU manage your T-I-M-E??!!

Wake up, get dressed, go to work, pick the kids up from school, go to Bible study, cook dinner, get the kids washed and in bed, go to bed, wake up....does this sound familiar? Yes, to many Americans there are never enough hours in a day. Truthfully, we all have 24 hours a day and we make time for those things that are important. This may require us to say no to some people, shut down our social media sites, meditate before the Father, and just take time to make sure we are well and healthy.

One way that I keep up with my time is to be disciplined. If I know that I have an assignment that is due within the next two weeks, I strive to begin at least two weeks in advance. By doing this, I do not get behind and procrastinate. It is very important that we put important things first. For me, I do not believe starting with the small items first is always the best thing to do. I tackle the big tasks on my list and save the smaller ones.

I want to encourage each of you to complete this activity: Create a weekly time sheet. For one week, list what you do every hour of the day. If you spend 2-3 hours on Facebook, write it down. If you spend 1 hour eating and watching tv, write it down. Be honest with yourself. At the end of one week, review what you have done over the past week. This will allow you to see what areas of your life you need to spend less time doing certain things and where more time should be invested. Don't be discouraged.
