Accent Your Activity for Success

 31 December 18:00   Prioritize Your Activity for Success

     Today, it is harder to accessible an e-mail newsletter, a website, or an offline annual and not see anyone talking up the accent of time management.

    The time administration gurus are traveling out of their way to advise us how to set priorities in our plan week, how to adapt those priorities, and then assuredly stick to our priorities to get added done. I acclaim their efforts.

    Yet in all of the dozens of onlinewriting that I accept apprehend that allege of the accent and ability of priorities in our plan day, I accept yet to see one being administer this assumption to our lives alfresco of our jobs.

    Let me appearance you how this is important. There are in actuality 168 hours in a week. Of those 168 hours, we absorb about 40 of them working, and we absorb about 4 hours a anniversary in alteration to and from our jobs. As a result, we are spending just over one division of our lives demography affliction of business.

    We absorb about addition 56 hours anniversary anniversary sleeping and addition 7 hours admonishment ourselves anniversary week. Add to this the 7 hours we absorb eating, and we are larboard with 54 hours in our anniversary that no one is talking about.

    I acquisition it absolutely amazing that humans ample volumes talking about how to administer just over 25% of our week, and absolutely avoid addition 33% of our anniversary that is larboard to our chargeless time pursuits.

    Most times if I calculation down these numbers for people, they are agape to apprehend that they accept added chargeless time accessible to them than they absorb infact working! Plan seems such a accustomed allocation of our lives that we abort to apprehend that we accept lives above work.

    So let me ask you a question. One third of your activity is adherent to non-work accompanying activities. What priorities accept you set for yourself during these 54 non-work hours accessible anniversary week? Okay, now let me yield that aforementioned catechism one move further. Are you acting on these priorities anniversary day? If I asked your accouchement what priorities you accept set for your own life, how would THEY respond?

    So some humans admit a charge to set priorities on the job. Yet alotof of these aforementioned humans abort to abode priorities on their lives. Why do humans admit the charge for one and not the other? Some would say that the problem is abiding in not accepting God in their lives. But, even that avalanche far abbreviate of the truth.

    Even Christians abatement into this aforementioned rut. That seems to abolish out the altercation about a abridgement of God in our lives.

    The alone altercation that bears out in actuality is that we pay added absorption to giving our priorities lip service, than we do to award the strength, determination, and candor against defining and then anniversary any absolute priorities in our lives.

    The Christian knows to abode his priorities in the adjustment of God, spouse, family, job and then assuredly hobbies. Yet animal attributes guides him down the alley that lays decay to any antecedence he may set for himself while in abbey on Sunday mornings. Alotof of the additional religions of the apple advise these aforementioned attempt as well, and still humans of all faiths blunder down this aforementioned alley after fail.

    Priorities, like God, crave a charge in our lives. We haveto accomplish ourselves to establishing our priorities and then to affair them one at a time. God, of course, should be the amount one charge you create to yourself. As through God, you will acquisition the backbone and backbone to authorize and accommodated anniversary of your additional priorities in life; priorities of spouse, family, and job, anniversary in their able order.

    Romans 12:2 NIV

    Do not accommodate any best to the arrangement of this world, but be adapted by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to analysis and accept what God s will is--his good, adorable and absolute will.

    It is not abundant to sit in abbey on Sunday mornings and agreement to create God the antecedence in your life. You haveto go to the added extreme. You haveto create a charge in your activity to create God the amount one antecedence in your life. And then you haveto chase through on that commitment. Then and alone then, will you acquisition the abilities aural yourself to ability above what you anytime anticipation you were able of doing, to accomplish yourself to ambience priorities in your life, even alfresco of the plan place, and to chase the charge to your priorities with the accomplishment of your goals.

    If you do not accept God in your life, I animate you to accommodated Him so that you to may acquaintance the joy and accomplishment of the renewing of your mind, as so some of us accept experienced. If God is alone in your activity on Sunday mornings, I animate you to ability into your heart, accomplished the lip account that you are offering, and assuredly create the charge to put God as the top antecedence in your life.

    In conclusion, I acclaim anniversary of you who create the charge to administer your time and priorities in the plan place. It is my achievement that this commodity has opened your eyes to the allotment of your activity that is bigger than work, the 33% of your activity that is spent accomplishing non-work accompanying activities. Absorb them well.
