The principle of using your time well: Look carefully then how you walk

Busyness, unchecked, can rob you of relationships and your health. It can distract us from things that are important.

First have a clear idea of God's will for you.

You need time with God. Prayer/quiet time
You need time for physical stewardship. Exercise, sleep, family time, recreation.
Find five to fifteen people you can shepherd. This includes family relationships!

Define your key roles for the next week and month.

Take on the purposes in bite sized pieces. Don't try to tackle all of them at once. Just take on those things that are important for the coming week and month.

Select goals for an entire week

Schedule them all as time blocks or appointments for the entire week

Daily adapt your schedule by adding unanticipated events.

Start saying no to things. If there are too many, you may not be prioritizing properly. God's will cannot be larger than the amount of time you are given. God will not ask for than the number of hours in a day/week/month/year. Cross things off your list without guilt!
