Time Management 101: The Schedule!
Well…back to the grind! I’m getting myself back on track by thinking of what lays ahead for the year. Which of course found me staring at my calendar… I have to say the living by a schedule helps me to organize my time and keep on track … BUT it helps to remember that the schedule is created to help me … and I am not a slave to the schedule. Every day, ever hour, my plans may change. I also try to be open to what God desires to do in the world around me–and how He’s asking me to get involved.
“Any task that comes from the Maker of the universe is important,” writes Henry Blackaby in Experiencing God. “Don’t use human standards to measure the important or value of the task God gives.”
I love that! If I feel God’s leading to take one of my kids to lunch for a heart-to-heart talk, or to call a friend, or to escape away to my room to commune with Him THAT is the most important task in the universe.”
I don’t know about you, but even more important about managing my time is walking in step with my God. Hmmm … maybe next months blogs should be on how I do that? What do you think????
