Time as season for any event is both your resposibility to know that this is the very season for you to do what you ought to,and God`s determination through grace to bring you to when things could work out for you.Time as apropraition of schedule control can be made to work for you when you know exactly what you want to do and programme your day to suit each legitimate task.Failure here means living a wasted life there rest of your days on earth.

I also heard that our brains aren’t really designed for multi-tasking but sometimes it has to be done, especially when the boss is breathing down your neck!

Time actually is better than money in some ways. unlike money, it can buy you happiness, which is why I regularly put all this hullabaloo aside and spend time with my loved ones. You can always have money, but you’ll never know when you’ll run out of time.

Thanks for some really useful tips!

I’ve more recently found great benefit in using ‘time blocks’ – making the use of my time more productive. It may seem pedantic, but I use a weekly timetable (includes study, reading, preaching preparation, blogging, planning, communications, meetings, networking and running) that I devised to help me with my working schedule. It reminds me of being at school – but it seems to work!

Though it can be SO DIFFICULT, I agree that it’s essential to cut off from distractions and intrusions. For slightly different reasons, having been off last week with bronchitis, I had to be INTENTIONAL about not looking at emails or taking calls. The priority was my health – not work! This is where I think we need to be vigilant about our boundaries and ensure that other people are aware of them too.

In the past I’ve wondered whether our focus on time management is slightly displaced. After all, can we REALLY manage it? In truth, is time not something that’s out of our control?

A slight alteration of perspective has been helpful to me. I tend now to focus on priority management, rather than time management – getting those things that are of most importance done within the time allotted to me.

This is a great article and I do try to incorporate these in my daily routine but I’ll be honest I’m not consistent with it. People don’t understand the importance of time management, which is why so many people waste valuable time on things that does not add value to their life as well as others.

Another tip I learn is only have assigning yourself 6 tasks a day, nothing more because it may be too overwhelming. Plus if you don’t complete all of them you may feel you had a very unproductive day. With those tasks instead of completing the hardest or easiet one first, it’s better to complete the one that has the most importance at that time. For example, you may have 3 task involving closing a sale and the other involving emails, admin or customer service. Closing the sales may be more important, so you would focus your energy on those.

Again great article, and please visit my site where Christian Entrepreneurs can fellowship, collaborate, share insight on topics like this as well as others and earn money, http://www.theprospermagazine.com.

God Bless!
