Maximise your time

Text 1

This man's got a family and a job, but he may lose both in the near future. The thing is he doesn't know how to plan his daily routine, so he never has enough time to do his work well. He always puts things off for another time. That's the reason he hardly ever keeps appointments and is often late for work. So it's perfectly natural that his colleagues don't find him reliable and prefer to deal with somebody else, not him. His wife and he often quarrel. Nobody's pleased with him and he isn't pleased with himself either, but he can't do anything about it. That's the whole trouble.

MAXIMISE YOUR TIME

The simplest changes to your life style can mean you're more able to make the most of your physical and emotional well-being. Give yourself more time to relax. You don't know where all your time goes, do you? A few changes will help you gain extra hours. Then you can reduce stress and indulge yourself.

Firstly, keep a time-sheet diary to note what you do each day and where you're wasting time. You'll be able to streamline routines, saving minutes that will easily improve your day.

I heard someone say that many of us are so busy that if God wanted to speak to us, He'd have to leave a message on our answering machine!

Being overly busy is one of the reasons I began to study my working day opportunities. I became aware that I was in the out of control race and it was not the best option or the pace for me. My life style might be easier, I realised. My comprehension of what to be done blazed in my zeal and in my character nature.

I paid close attention to what I do with my time and abilities... I thought about why I stood busy: I had too many demands on my life. I liked to feel needed. I liked the approval I got from others. It's still hard for me to say no. I felt guilty if I was not busy. Staying busy relieved me of the need to make decisions about how I spent my time. Business gave me a sense of control over my life.

My dilemma is deeper than shortage of time, it is the problem of priorities... When had evaluated, I realised uneasily that I might have failed to do the most important things. The winds of unthoughtful demands and desires have driven me onto a reef of frustration. And I confess to myself, I have left undone those things which I ought to have done; and I have done those things which I ought not to have done.

I want to spend time with work, but for the sake of good rest. Physical rest is very important, but we need inner rest - the peace and refreshment in our soul. It has been wisely noted that after spiritual rest we feel strengthened, patient, hopeful!

As I run my daily race, what are the red flags that let me know when I'm too busy? It is unwise enough to think that I'm doing best by constant activity at the cost of headache and broken rest, I am getting to be of the opinion that what I want is a higher quality of work, then I should have entire rest.

Today typical work week has eight-hour days. A lot of the non-work timeis taken up with fulfilling family and social obligations. Most of us today run in the fast line of life. We choose this "line" for many reasons. We must examine the bulky weight of constant busyness for we will have difficulty finishing our race at the speed with which some of us are running. I had to learn to run with the rest, comfort and refreshment that might be provided.
