Seven Thoughts on Time Management

Written By

It would be a good use of your time to read Doug Wilson's post, Seven Thoughts on Time Management.Here are the seven points:

  1. The point is fruitfulness, not efficiency.
  2. Build a fence around your life, and keep that fence tended.
  3. Perfectionism paralyzes.
  4. Fill in the corners.
  5. Plod. Keep at it. Slow and steady wins the race.
  6. Take in more than you give out.
  7. Use and reuse. State and restate. Learn and relearn. Develop what you know. Cultivate what you have.

My biggest take-away/reminder from the post came under point six:

If you give out more than you take in, you will . . . give out. Your lake should have snowmelt streams running into it. Every vocation requires constant learning, constant development.
