Time
is a great asset; it is so valuable that it must not be wasted. When it comes
to time, God is not partial; He gives 86,400 seconds to all living things daily;
some spend theirs whilst very few invest theirs. What we do with time
determines what time yields for us.
My spiritual dad, Francis Soska Forbes once told me; “The only reason you get tired on your work is because you never draw your time table and prioritise your needs.”
What an advice?
Baruch says, “Whatever failures I have known, whatever errors I have committed, whatever follies I have witnessed in private and public life have been the consequences of action without thought.” And Apostle Paul writes to the Ephesians, “Wake up from your sleep, climb out of your coffins; Christ will show you the light! So watch your step. Use your head. Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times! Don’t live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants.” Eph. 5: 15–18 [As paraphrased by Eugene H. Peterson]
To manage your time effectively; watch out for the following time thieves:
v Attempting too much at a go
v Unrealistic time estimates
v Procrastinating
v Lack of specific priorities
v Failure to listen well or ask questions for clarity
v Doing it myself – failure to delegate
v Lack of organisation
v Failure to write it down
v Absence of self-appointed deadlines
v Doing first things first
