You cannot manage time. If you are bossy, a team player or a negotiator, time will pass at 60 seconds per minute, 60 minutes per hour and 24 hours per day. No matter if you are a great time manager or a poor one, each is given 1440 minutes per day. You can try and cheat with less sleep, eating faster or missing devotions, but you are still locked at 1440.
C. J. Mahaney did an excellent set of blogs on time management. I would
defer to him. But let me make two simple points. First, if you were going to do something really important, like head off to your favorite vacation that you had been planning for years, or have an IRS audit - you would think and prepare to make the most of it. Well, at the end of this life, you will be asked to give an account of the life you were given. Spend your time focusing on those things that matter.Second, it is not time management, but self-management that is really at issue. Laziness makes us drift away from doing hard and unpleasant things. Fear of man makes us drift away from having uncomfortable conversations or making uncomfortable decisions. Sin entices us to focus on the short-term and ignore the long-term.
But there are three things that are eternal - God, the Word of God and the souls of men.
...and time waits for no man
