As some of you know, I was not born organized. That is why I am fascinated by thoughts about time and ways to use it well.
Here are a few thoughts from the book: The Art of Stopping Time by Pedram Shojai….
Every little “yes” requires some of your attention, brain power, soul, and time.
Focus and plug the leaks.
Time “earthquakes” are events that rock our use of time and/or our perception of time.
“Chunk time” means designate and do that one task.
Making adjustments is a mark of maturity.
Time waster: emotional indigestion: “woulda, coulda, shoulda”
See your life as a garden with room for 5 to 10 plants for watering, feeding, weeding.
Another reason for this fascination: “God has made everything beautiful in its time.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11a ESV) Animals live by instinct and natural environmental cues. No need for time management seminars and meaning of life/productivity classes for rhinos, dogs, and birds.
On the other hand, “God has given human beings an awareness of eternity.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11b CJB) This gives us the desire to create and contribute, for our actions to have important meaning beyond the scope of our lives here on earth.
