How many times a week do you find yourself saying, “I don’t have time?”
I don’t have time. Think about that statement. It’s not true. You do have 1440 units (minutes) of it every day.
Time management is a myth. You can’t manage time. It’s a fixed commodity. There’s only self-management: how I handle myself during the time God has allotted to me.
So if I catch myself saying, “I don’t have time.” It’s an indictment of my integrity. Because it’s simply not true.
When I say, “I don’t have time,” it’s an indication of one or more of the following mistakes.
- I failed to plan ahead
- I have not clarified my priorities
- I’m letting other people dictate how I use my time
- I’m falling victim to distractions
- I have not learned the skill of focus
If we say, “I don’t have time,” lets at least be honest by finishing the sentence. “I don’t have time because…Fill in Mistake #1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.”
